I have for some time heard of the virtues of seaweed as a fertilser and/or Nutrient booster. I am fortunate in that I live minutes from the seas shore and an abundant supply of West of Ireland Seaweed. I was wondering is it safe to bring some fresh and unwashed seaweed directly over my strawberry, raspberry, currant, rhubarb beds at this time to give them a tonic as we head into spring and also as perhaps a blanket to some frost that might be on the way.
