Ooh What do we do with this? We've been to the beach almost all week! I could have brought home tons of this stuff!!

That's great! How do you make your tea, and do you use any of it raw in the garden? :D

Hers is exactly as I do
5 gallon bucket ¾ full of sea weed
Add water to top of bucket
Apply lid (lid had one quarter inch hole for air exchange) Home depot bucket
let sit 60 days
I stir it 4 times ( sometimes I for get to stir )
remove lid :) it smells a bit as it decays so keep it away from house
use measuring device to get one cup of clear tea
1 cup of tea to 3 cups water , 25% tea 75% water
this 4 cups will fertilize one adult bananas plant... or you can put the one cup in a Mircale grow sprayer and apply around plant
I do not use it close to corm it is used on feeder roots that travel out from the plant a 6 to7 foot circle around the plant
Do not soak you feet in the tea :) its only for plants
I do not wash off the salt from the sea weed
I do not use it in great excess once per month does well here in Florida
If you worried use it on a section of lawn first .. It will get GREEN

Can I try to collect some here? Ft Lauderdale seem a bit to fare away for me?

One more question...Does it matter the type of seaweed?

I'm sure some are better than others, but I just use what ever is on the beach.
