Today I have been washing and mincing kelp. 2 drums half full but my sister showed up so that was a good excuse to knock off. It actually works pretty well, had a few wrap-ups and stalled it a few times but miles quicker and better than cutting it up with a knife! :cool: (y)

How much ended up over you? :D
Actually, not much! A fair bit ended up on the deck, and plastered itself all over the mower, plus I had to set up a green drum right under the front of the mower as per photo.. but about 95% went in the drum.
An effective bodge, next time I'll have a much better idea of what kelp to collect and have a bigger piece of ply underneath, and will refine the chute a little.
You'll be able to see the bubbling brew in a month all going well (y) I already have a big heap of nettles wilting to go in.
It should take until about August to be ready to spray on, if weather permits.
