Seaweed under the sea wall

Seaweed gathered under the sea wall at St Brelade's Bay.

Seaweed contains all the trace elements and plant nutrients necessary for healthy crops, in addition the alginates in Brown seaweeds (Phaeophyta) are reputed to be an excellent soil conditioner. In Jersey the special flavour of their new potatoes is thought to derive from the seaweed they spread on their fields locally known as Vraic (Wrack). The seaweed is also thought to suppress Eelworm in the potato crop and has been collected and spread by the Jersey farmers since the 12th century, when every farmer had the right to collect seaweed from the beach.

Footpath junction

A footpath in the Cueillette De Millais connects La Route des Landes to La Rue Freule. It appears to be used mainly by horse riders judging by the many hoofprints in the mud. Here a branch goes North through cornfields towards La Rue de la Trappe.

Field in the Cueillette De Millais

A fenced off field in the Cueillette De Millais, St Ouen parish. The path South (right) looked as if it would afford access to La Route de La Villaise but in fact it just went around all four sides of the large field. St Ouen's bay can be seen in the distance.
