Great post Bob, as you know I have been recently inspired to start composting.
Much like yourself I am also an avid fisherman and we are getting to the time of year that all "your" bluefish finally start arriving in our area. Along with the "runs" of various game fish the Sargasso Sea Weed hits the shore in good volume. Not sure if it the same "weed" you guys have up there.

My question is what do you do to prep it for your compost pile?
There is another thread.
Compost materials???
"supermario" posted a huge list with NPK values and it listed dried seaweed.
"Seaweed (dried): 1.1-1.5/0.75/4.9 (Seaweed is loaded with micronutrients including: Boron, Iodine, Magnesium and so on.)"
Do you rinse it with fresh water then dry it before it goes in the pile?
