I did it. After washing it well of course (and soaking it) - I poured the liquid all over the toms, and the seaweed I just chucked down. That was a few months ago - it's gone now. Couple of my toms died though - not sure if it was related.

I've also gots lots of unused liquid stuff (nothing ever needed watered outside this year) -- homemade seaweed feed (it's kind of grey) and worm juice (very brown).
Is the considered opinion that this stuff ought to keep fairly well over winter in 2 litre plastics bottles? Bearing in mind it'll probably be frozen Nov - Feb?Garden Grower

We made about 30 gallons of seaweed 'feed' this summer. Used most in old water bottles to add to general watering (not that anything needed much watering this year...). We've got a very liquid slurry left that we'll be spreading around at some point. I love seaweed. Never thought of the seaweed powder idea. Just back from the beach this weekend - wish I'd brought more back with us now.I don't roll on Shabbos

Chopping them up with seckys and leaving on soil, works. It really does, it's brilliant. You might think "messy", but after a week, they've disappeared.
After a few weeks, you start to get brilliant soil. It looks a little lumpy, but it's fluffy not compacted, and absorbs water brilliantly.
I "chop and mulch" everything now pretty much. Only "unsightly" stuff goes in the compost heap (kitchen scraps, plate scrapings, dog poop etc)All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

The slugs aren't a feed, they are hopefully full of nematodes: http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ied_64107.htmlAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.
