Fruits from the sea an old tradition.

Sea weed is an everyday miracle with optimum nourishment for the soil. It makes excellent natural fertilizer. We collect it by the bags full to use on the allotment compost, mulching and digging in with the potatoes. It is full of iodine, amino acids, minerals and the full list of vitamins ABCDE+K- what a zest for growing!




It makes a real difference to the way everything grows with all these nutriments and the salt puts the slug off for a while.





It was a tradition on the east coast of Northern Ireland to gather dulse (a type of seaweed) from The Copeland Islands where the sea was particularly pure, dry it in the summer sun and eat it like crisps
