  • Compost mix

    Not sure where this should be posted, but want to ask about adding seaweed to a compost heap, would you classify seaweed as a brown or a green addition to the heap?
    it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

          Yes green, also considered an activator as it encourages the pile/bin to heat up

            It's fresh and going with the replies to the enquiry I have now mixed it with a bag of shredded paper

              Kelp or Bladderwrack?

              Fresh I'd say green but I think it's C:N ratio is only slightly below the magic ratio (20:1 - 30:1)

              https://www.planetnatural.com/compos...ing/c-n-ratio/ says 19:1
              https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=...eaweed&f=false says 30:1
