Dear Gardening/Farmer Friends, There will be several tons of plant material (seaweed/Eurasion milfoil) collected in the next few days from Lake Lansing... potentially looking for a home... Apparently it can be used as a mulch and has advantages in that the seeds can't germinate on land. See excerpt below from http://www.chelseagreen.com/bookstore/item/organic_soilfertility_and_weed_management:paperback [cid:[log in to unmask]] The harvester could potentially deliver quantities... (6 cu yards est?) in the Lansing area. If you have an interest, please contact [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> and cc [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> if you don't mind. Thanks, -LeRoy LeRoy Harvey [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> http://recycle.meridian.mi.us (517)853-4466<tel:%28517%29853-4466> PS My hunch is that the nutrient benefits of mulch would far outweigh any potentially trace herbicides present in the seaweed, but I can't find much info on this.
