[Veg Plot 1B]

Noticed loads of seaweed on beach whilst walking the dog, so decided to collect some.

Filled old compost bag with lots of wet seaweed and knackered my self getting it to car, filling another bag with dry seaweed was a lot easier.

Message to self only collect the dry stuff.

Just be aware as well that taking stuff from the beach can involve asking the landowner's permission.  I know people do, but in some places, it is actually something you can get picked up on

The land above the high tide mark belongs to the property owner and the land in between that and the low tide mark is Crown Property. It's always best if you can get permission to remove it to avoid potential trouble from either the landowner or jealous gardeners!

Didn't even think about the legal aspects of it. You guys are on top of things!

Anyone Know the Queen's phone number as I was thinking of going to the coast tomorrow!

No idea, but Crown Estate policy is explained in this old thread

Is it legal to take seaweed from our beaches here in the UK? in Growing FAQs and other Information - Page 2 of 2

They knew who I was, "your the guy from the allotment gardening website", but they didn't seem to know who she was!

You could have given their memory a jog by saying that a "Queen" once played on the roof of the palace and also played her part in the Olympic opening ceremony by sliding down a rope with James Bond. If that doesn't do it heads will roll!
