Just curious on the seaweed, I live very close to the beach and have the ability to grab tons of seaweed and kelp, is there certain kinds that are used for fertilizer?

ya will have to create ya own job lol... looks like that is what i will be doing here . i has the right conditions here for what i'm doing as where in maine all ya got is seaweed and kelp and nothing to do with it there except what ya want for yourself lol.. and way to short a grow seasonthose are certainly some great seeds I started a few myself and they are taking off, bad pic:I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else in the states. Cali has almost everything but good jobs goin for it.

I collected about 100lbs, washed it in fresh water and layed in the sun to dry, then made a meal. Lot of work and got me less than 5 pounds of meal.
