Today was the year’s first really great day of seaweed collecting. I realize, of course, that the organisms in question aren’t “weeds”, but for the sake of this blog that is the name I’ll use, as “a mixture of green and brown marine algae” is a little unwieldy. The beaches here are usually seaweed-free in the summer, with the first major wash-ups occurring after the winds begin in October. It was windy yesterday and this morning the tide was low, and I was able to gather many hundreds of pounds of this most valuable soil amendment.
