I had them in the carport and my house was a north-facing frontage, so it was both cold (wind coming straight off the Georgia Straits) and sunless!!! Unfortunately, there is no seaweed here in Montreal, lol! I look forward to seeing more of your kelp work.

Occasionally some pieces of kelp are on the mushy side when I collect them but if I get them in the sun they dry and are wonderfully coloured. Perhaps the garage was too dark and cold? when I dry indoors I use reflected UV light and have a heater on and the kelp dries well there but there's a definite seaside odor in the area until the kelp is nice and dry.Gera Scott Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09421627489215999274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212366816047128713.post-73960546710555443702012-09-01T16:58:10.147-07:002012-09-01T16:58:10.147-07:00Hi Gera, that kelp looks fabulous.

I tried to dry out bull kelp in my carport but it just got all mushy and gummy and really smelled gross. Do you treat it before you dry it?Vickieafcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01327189080611033972noreply@blogger.com
