[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 3843834, member: 63856"] That's largely how I go about it. I gather up the stuff that washes up in big storms and added a lot to my compost heap- about 5 trailer loads have come home now. The red stuff is no good, it's slighly toxic to plants especially germinating plants (the two Simon's theory thread is along the same lines, phytotoxins??) or so I've heard. The green stuff gets chucked onto the top of the heap and covered up next time I have the tractor going The brown stuff I brewed up for a few months in a plastic tank, with air bubbling up and a daily stir. Then siphoned off the top and stored in a drum! The sludge out of the tank went in the garden compost with all the scraps and paua guts :hungry::) I was planning on putting it out in the autumn but the weather is mental. Always too much of it!!! so I'll have a play in springtime. Have a few hundred litres of compost juice and 200 litres of the seaweed stuff. I'm planning to just grab an IBC of seawater for the older pastures as a mixer, have about 14 ha that wants some salt. [/QUOTE]
