Tricia

btw - how many times did you do your exercises today?  :)

[Jeannine]

Yep. it twas me...but slight misprint.. I didn't bring the seeds with me, they were a gift to me from Markfield Rover after I came, so thanks goes to our Hilary too.. I think it is imprtant that the history of seeds stays on record as much as possible and know Stanley is very keen on hearingg info on this one.. great to be able to pass them on.

XX Jeannine

I knew one chap when I lived in Plymouth who used seaweed on his allotment but I always wondered about the salt content. Or does this mean if you grow potatoes in it you don't have to salt your chips? :D

If you pile it up and let the rain get on it for a few months the salt washes out. We used to have problems in Cornwall with wind-blown salt damaging topgrowth, but I'm not sure how much harm a little in the soil actually does.
