| Kelp soaking in water to wash the salt off. |
The beach is a good source of kelp for the garden after rough seas.
I normally only give the kelp a wash with the hose or leave it out in the rain to get rid of the salt, but the kelp I have at the moment that's ready to go into the garden has been soaking in water - only because there happened to be a garden trolley full of water from rain that I figured I might as well use when I dragged the kelp across the road to our yard.
The garden tends to be fairly dormant over winter with the lack of sun, so I try to use that time to improve the soil, ready for spring.
