How to use seaweed in the garden

As far as we’re concerned, seaweed is a magical ingredient. Not only can it work wonders for your skin, with deeply moisturising properties, but in coastal areas, it’s been used as a soil improver for generations.

Seaweed contains lots of useful plant nutrients, including nitrogen, potassium, phosphate and magnesium. There are plenty of dried and liquid forms available from garden centres.

If you find yourself somewhere beachy, you can collect seaweed after particularly stormy weather (don’t collect living seaweed, attached to rocks etc, it’s not sustainable for everyone to do so.)

How can you unleash seaweed’s natural powers in your garden, we hear you ask?
