Sea Weed: So How'd you day go Honey?

[Vee]

I awoke and borrowed the babes car...my shit Range Rover died again last week; transmission errors they say
I found the seaweed I wanted..I drove down to the beach..and park carefully and drag a shit huge bag with me
picking up the kelp as I go, within half an hour I had a huge bag of wet sea weed very heavy, it took over an hour to get it back to the car, by then I was (fucked) totally tired.
I spent another 15mins or so getting it into this shitty volkswagon jetta thing,
halfway home I get pulled by a cop(ex g/f) whoose still got those really mean nasty type eyes..
I try the $20.00 bribe but she knows my tricks, so like Belushi(BlueBrothers) I give up wimpy pleady type of guy I am, and promise a beer and pizza night, I tell her its my sisters car, that she hasn't ever met..she lets me go

I get it home hose the weed down with fresh water once laid over the yard..rains due so smell won't be a problem
but for the car? full of seawater sand and even fishing nylon ...another hassle
see guys it was easier for me to go to the shop and buy the Kelp meal

but it was a workout, that I'll never have to do again
just waiting on a buddy to drop of a 200L(45usg) plastic bin to hold the tea

more to come (I just know it)

cheers/

Update: Laid out the sea weed on the lawn and hose it off,, the rain did the rest
now its soaking in the 200 litre drum...washing of any residue salts

I'm currently seeking out the ideal TDS of concentrated sea weed tea

Age Old Fish & Seaweed may be used in both leaf feed and soil drench applications. It is a concentrated product and must be diluted with water prior to use. Soak seeds for higher germination rates. Soak roots for greater root mass and less transplant shock.

Ornamentals: Blend 2 to 4 oz per gallon of water and apply as a foliar spray over the landscape every 2 to 4 weeks. Increase application frequency for stressed plants.

Vegetables & Field Crops: Apply 1 to 2 pints per acre under normal conditions every 3 to 4 weeks. Under stressful conditions, apply every 2 to 3 weeks as a foliar application.
