I see this as a business opportunity. I bet this stuff is very nutritious for your garden. I could possibly turn this into awesome organic fertilizers if I can get it to Hawaii.
@SimplyTracie Someday someone will build a floating factory that will use all that plastic as a raw material for something really cool that we'll all buy. 😁
@Peaches Maybe. I googled the question and the answer was...
Yes. Because pond scum and algae are living organisms, they are rich sources of nitrogen that break down quickly in the compost pile. Using pond scum as fertilizer also incorporates important nutrients, such as potassium and phosphorus, into the compost.
But, I’m not sure if that blue-green stuff is contaminated.
I don’t think the toxins produced by this stuff makes for good fertilizer. It’s not really “real” algae - it’s bacteria, some of the earliest stuff to come around on the planet - we likely owe our atmosphere to the stuff.
