A Natural Renewable Harvest of the Sea>

From the cold clear, unpolluted waters surrounding the Shetland Isles our seaweed - Ascophyllum nodosum -is harvested by hand at low tide.

The harvesters, using a very sharp knife, ensure at least 6” of the stalk is left to regenerate, growing back stronger than ever.

 Collected in nets or buckets, it’s moved  a few hundred yards to the drying sheds.

Simply dried and bagged it begins the journey to your garden to start that wonderful ‘Natural Cycle’ thing again.

Can anything be more natural, and sustainable.

A whole world of fresh Atlantic breezes and crystal clear seas is released when you untie our bag.

Think I’m being silly - just try it !

       However, if you really want to give your plants and vegetables a treat, mix in some of that amazing Neem with the compost too.

Scottish Natural Heritage monitor the entire process, but the friendly, organic farming family who harvest this natural bounty are passionate about the environment.

They need no encouragement to ensure that the Shetland coast is protected, and natures natural regeneration just goes on and on in a natural cycle of renewal.

They never allow any waste, they use the seaweed on their own fields - or let their animals enjoy it.

The seaweed pellets can be mixed with your compost,         

spread directly around established plants, or scattered over                             

the lawn to produce a deep, lush, verdant  green.

 It enhances the soil so naturally that nature often needs no other help, even conjuring wonderful blooms in the beautiful, but sometimes very rugged  Shetland environment.

Look at this flax - grown on these age old islands where the weather is not always quite so sunny !

Below is all the detailed stuff, but please remember nature does not always like to be told what to do - so below may vary it little from harvest to harvest.
