If you are living close to the Atlantic, the Gulf or Pacific coast you are lucky as seaweed for your garden is easy to gather. Gardeners inland have to buy the gardening gold.
Seaweed contains about 60 trace elements, as well as fungal and disease preventatives. Using seaweed for compost improves soil consistency and increases water retention in sandy or grainy soils.
Amend Your Garden Soil and Compost
Water the seaweed well to remove the salt and work it into the soil or add it to your compost heap. When using seaweed as compost, it can be used dry or wet. As a soil amendment, seaweed even deters pests both large and small. Instead of buying mulch you can even use seaweed to top up your flower beds. It will save water, keeps the soil moist at ground level, eliminates the need to weed and enriches the garden soil.
