As a fisherman I enjoy the catch, but, if there is loose weed on the beach that has been washed up I always take a few bags of
weed and let it ferment for a few weeks,once the spud plants are established I mix the seaweed with seasoned compost and liberally
wrap it around the spud plants and water it in,I don't tend to use neat weed as I was told the salt content can burn the tender
potato shoots.
Visits to Jersey and Guernsey seeing there potato harvest with the same treatment convinced me that using the same method
on our plot was worth it,ive used it since weve moved down here to Dorset and have to say we are pleased with the
crop and will continue to use the free offerings from the beach.
