how's it going everyone so a few days ago my family and I we went down to one of
the nearby beaches and we collected a whole piece of seaweed this is because I
really wanted to grab some for our garden beds and also for some of the new
fruit trees that we planted just because seaweed has so much benefits and
nutrition for your garden and while I'm here living in a coastal area and we are
allowed to take seaweed to use for our garden I definitely wanted to try it and
really see how much it helps the garden okay so this is the seaweed that we
collected we got about seven garbage bags full and I just put it out on this
shade cloth and then use the hose just to give it a really good washing off
because just you really want to get rid of all that salt because if the salt
gets into garden beds the sodium that is in there can harm and kill the
beneficial or the soil microorganisms which will really kill your soil when
you may be out of growing thing so I gave that are really really good washing
out and I've smelt it and even so like tasted the water on there underneath and
it doesn't taste so Keys which is awesome so now we're going to be putting
it on the garden beds as a real thick mulch and selenium breakdown over the
winter okay so this is one of the beds where I'm going to be putting the
seaweed over the top up so this bed was full of weeds it has the gourmet garlic
from last season and I tried to grow some wheat here just as an experiment
but it didn't quite work I wasn't I didn't plant at the right time and so a
whole bunch of weeds saw growing here but I dug them all in as green manure
and so now what I wanted I wanted to put a good mulch on top of it just to break
down and prevent some of this clumping grass from growing back but I didn't
want to use hay or anything like that because it wasn't sprout and so I
I saw a lot of weed seeds in it which most of these weed came from so what I'm
going to do now grab some of the seaweed and just really sickly lay it on
I just want to quickly talk about the benefits of seaweed now seaweed has over
60 trace elements and minerals and obviously you plan to absolutely love
this because it has that such high number of different elements and
nutrients your plants really are respond very very well to it seaweed also
doesn't need to be um partly decomposed or composted before the plant can take
up its nutrients unlike some manures and other things like that so you can apply
it fresh the stuff that I put on we that was harvested about 24 hours ago and I'm
putting it straight into the garden also it forms an excellent excellent mulch
and so you put it straight on and it will reduce weeds and also it will
release a whole heap of different nutrients into your garden also the
thicker cope like seaweed that can be used as the same as we tea or a chicken
t like chicken minuite or any other sorts of teas basically you just put it
in like a large drum or a container with water and you let it soak you want to
probably chop it up a little bit with a shovel or a spade just chop it up a bit
and leave it in there and let it sit for a few weeks and it will form a seaweed
your own homemade seaweed solution and so they do some of the benefits of
seaweed and there are so so much and that's why it is so good for your garden
ok so I've also added a good thick layer of seaweed on to one of our raised metal
beds and this was pretty much the last of it that we had so I've done two of
the wooden beds and in one of these and we're going to get some more seaweed as
well soon so I'm going to see other soil and then it has all this on which is
awesome and this stuff is so good whoops this roof I'm sort of loose-leaf lights
I'm sorry that loose a leaf Lac sort of seaweed is
really wonderful because it breaks down very quickly there you go everyone
that's how I you see weed on my garden and also why I use it so I really hope
