Late winter storms have deposited heaps of bull kelp along the shores over the past week. I had some success experimenting with kelp as a material for furniture last year but am not yet ready to take advantage of its availability in production. I’d love to hear from anyone who has seen kelp used in interesting ways.
I have wanted to experiment with composting kelp, but have never gotten around to it. Maybe a quick rinse with fresh water and rough chop with a machete would get things started.
