If you bury them below the “till”, and plant roots, what benefit can they actually be as fertilizer.
You ever see worms at work? They do the work for me and bring it back up from the depth. The fish does not just sink deeper into the earth, quite opposite actually. And this way I avoid critters and a terrible smell.
Worms, bugs, moles, chipmunks, bacteria, microorganisms etc. you’re right on in your thought process. Some plants even have a symbiotic relationship with fungi that grow on their roots, and will attain needed chemicals for them from the surrounding soil. Kind of off topic, but I found some Indian pipe “flowers” in the forest behind my house, and was amazed to learn they don’t posses any chlorophyll, and are basically a plant parasite. Cool read if you look them up.
Be careful giving tips on this. The last folks that said burying fish in your garden helped the plants grow had a bounty on their heads within 30 years!
Excellent point.Never thought of this.Thanks.
