Fish remains in your garden?

I have seen where a lot of you all bury fish remains in your garden. Tell me more about this. Placement? Tilled in? Buried with individual plants (say, under each tomatoe or pepper plant)?

my uncle used to put his directly under his tomato plants, he usually had huge plants and tons of tomatoes. He also would bury some around his trees which he said helped. For pepper plants bury a book of matches with them, then spray with epsom salt/water mix every week or two, makes for very healthy plants.

I only know if you forget where you put said remains and dig one up accidently you will likely lose your lunch , this much I know factually :Rofl

I just dig a trench down the middle of my garden bed, put the cleanings in and cover with dirt, compost on top.
About 12-9 inches deep

When I was doing that I would just dig hole and bury randomly in garden before tilling. Note, be sure to give some time to decompose before tilling.....lol

I quit doing it because the raccoons around here will dig them up. If I have a hot compost pile going I can put fish deep in it and they will leave it alone though.

I would like to know more about the Matches and the pepper . lol

It's a great idea,in fact, Indians use to do it. The last time I did it two wild hogs dug them up......time to replant!

That was the first fishing regulation on the books. They wanted to stop the pilgrims from burying stripers for fertalizer

Deep. My dad's small garden bed was fertilized with fish and squirrel remains. I buried them deep. I was also the one who ran the tiller and every now and again you have a little skull pop to the surface if I really buried the tiller down in there. He has really good looking dirt in that garden spot though. Very black compared to the red clay in the rest of the yard.
