Home made seaweed feed

A few months ago I collected some dried seaweed from a beach and bought it home. I have left it in a bucket and some rain water has got in. It has created a dark muddy color water which stinks terrible. I have bottled it and hung the weed up in the greenhouse to dry.

The question is can I dilute the liquid as a general feed for veg like lettuce, potatoes, peas etc (not the flower producing) safely, and if so, what dilution ratio ?

Thanks.

Won't it contain rather a lot of salt?  I would be careful as you might kill things.  It probably would be better to use the proper commercial product.

Cheers,

It's impossible to give a dilution ratio as the original strength is not known.

However, nettle and comfrey liquid are diluted to a weak tea strength and you may find that that is ok for the seaweed feed too.

That's why International Kidneys don't taste like Jersey Royals!

It smells evil but thats a good sign. Before I planted my peas out I dug some into the soil as a compost. Suffice to say the peas are like giants and have many pods (Hurst and Kelevdon Wonder)

experiment on some weeds. If they thrive or if they die you know the answer

Too late. The deed is done.
