Shit loads of eggs

Today we went to the beach to gather an ingredient for our compost: seaweed. More precisely, seaweed and herring eggs. This is that time of the year when herring spawn eggs. Tons of eggs got washed ashore along with seaweed. Seaweed itself is a fabulous ingredient for compost, seaweed in combination with herring is simply a God-sent! Fish eggs are awesome, awesome addition to our compost since we don't raise many livestock and our sources for nitrogen-rich manure are limited.
The enormous amount of eggs are just staggering! The beach is just caked with herring eggs! we happily loaded two truck loads of them!
