Thread: Fish Carcasses

If you bury the fish 2 feet down you shouldnt havr a problem with anything digging it up. I did it this year and my plants are doing great. But I put my tomato plants in 8" pots and let them get about 2 ft tall (including the height of the container) before i transferred them to the ground. Then i dug a 2 ft deep hole then put in 5 fresh caught pin fish (3-5 inches long each... the whole fish), egg shells, shrimp shells that we had saved, an aspirin, and then put 2-3 inches of soil on top of that then the plants. Mine are doing great and nothing dug them up. And trust me we have raccons and possums that get into our other stuff regularly.

The picture below shows one of the plants after planting. The white stuff is the crushed seashell that is our soil... lol. Any dark soil you see is what I filled in around the plant. We live on land made from dredging the intercoastal waterway.
