Fish Pot

[SherwoodForest]

I'm just wondering if anyone here ever buries a fish under their plants? I've done it plenty and even grown on top of a freshly buried cat. It seems to make them grow real well.

my grandpa use to take dead carp and till em into the soil in the garden the fall before winter. dont know bout MJ how it reacts to it tho.

Fish is a high source of Nitrogen...take care..

I've have raccoon, skunk, bear, feral cats, dogs, coyote, fox ect. ect. ect.
"outdoors", I've had dozens of plants pillaged by these vermin from useing fish emullsion, bone or blood meals when ammending the soil with them. Even guano and alfalfa teas have attracted them at times. They smell it, recognize it as a food source, and try to dig it up.
One thing for certain, that fish is going to need to decompose before it becomes beneficial to the plant. That doesn't happen overnight, it takes months. If "I" were going to plant a fish, I would do it "at least" 2-3 months prior to planting the plant.

I always throw fish/fish guts in my outdoor bucket grows. These are placed where most wildlife cannot get to them, so I do not have the problems of animals terrorizing my plants. I plant in July like this and by late October at harvest, there is absolutely no remains of the fish, the fish bones or anything else left of the fish in the buckets. I do not use red meat animal remains on my grows

My first wife's dad had grown a bumper crop in his backyard garden one year with a bountifull harvest. During dinner one evening I complimented him on the great veggies, great taste, great sizes. He said, "You can thank old Lady for that."

Lady was their German shepard--it had died during the winter and the old fart told us he had planted her in the garden. The food wasn't nearly as tasty after that. I was just glad I didn't start chasing cars or biting strangers.

Right awn, I've never seen the fish remains after a harvest, it seems to decay really fast. I started using the whole fishes one year and never used the emulsion again.

All the junk fish (carp, bullhead, etc.) I catch during the summer gets chopped into hunks then tossed into the freezer (not my house freezer ).Then in the fall I till it into my garden and put a length of chicken wire on top with some cinder blocks to keep cats,racoons, and such from digging.
I've never burried any kind of animals in the garden, any meat source will ruin a compost pile, so I would immagine it can't be very bennificial to the soil.
