i live on the mornington Peninsula Victoria and been using seaweed on the garden for years as a mulch.
Do you need to do anything to it before use ?
Can you make Liquid Fertilisers out them, if so how ? much like you would with Comfrey ?
When I make seaweed fert, I make it much the same as comfrey tea, although it does require a fair bit of rinsing to get as much salt off as possible.I have also put rinsed seaweed straight on the garden as mulch & added it to the compost.
Ironically been down the morning and had a peck at a couple of my favorite seaweeds! Neptunes Necklace, when young/ small and Sea Lettuce are both quite palatable straight from the water.
One of the River Cottage Oz episodes had them eating seaweed and also pickilng it to make a salad of sorts, will have to try this me thinks!

I am never 100% sure of the seaweed I find on the beach, so have never been game to eat it..
I make a seaweed kimchi, with wakame, it’s very nice 🙂
when i use as a fert i simply rinse in a tub of water (old kiddies plastic shell thingy) for an hour or so then i ether put in a barrel and fill with water for liquid brew or hang to dry for a few days to let go crispy. that i use as mulch.
been out and got i little bit but no lettuce very disapointing.
