Took my daughter to the beach yesterday.. That's her toes on the left

Wile there I picked up 10 gallons of seaweed.... It's tea time !

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?

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

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

trebor · 08-07-2012, 10:08 PM

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