Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂
I love the dad jokes
The only comparison I would ask here is: how do the tomatoes taste from the Fish Head plant vs the one that didn't grow via the Fish Head? Are the fruit bigger, etc.?
To me, the Fish Head process is more for longer yield periods from the plant itself – seems to come down with what you want as an outcome.
I am definitely keen to give it a go!
Don't bury fish tail.
Did it effect the taste of the tomatoes?
So burying an entire fish it would be better than just the head. So, this is a good experiment to do instead of adding fertilizer to the tomato plant. It must enrich the soil for the entire crop and probably the soil is still fertilized enough for the next tomato plant.
In China, many gardeners will bury fish intestines in soil during cold winter under their rose. It is the best fertilizer for roses and it's free.
Sea fish or lake fish?
You didn't bury your fish deep enough
What happens when you plant a tomato plant in a fish head?
Well, the neighborhood cats and raccoons sneak into your garden at night and destroy your crops.
RIP tomato plants. You will be avenged!
Fish fossil hehe
i have been using fish for years it works in louisiana
Gross
As a chef working professionally, who understands the amount of food wastage we as a society foster, this video makes me very happy. Thank you for sharing!
Indians taught this method to the early white man for growing corn.
Maybe add a propriety soil bacteria and fungi mix along with some molasses over the fish head at the time of planting. That should allow all nutrients to come on tap sooner, and stop that lag in developed shown in this experiment.
Even plants are not vegan.
Going to give this a go thanks mate
we don't live very close to sources of fish for trying this, but if we were able to get fish heads, I would try it 😀
My only concern is the rats that will try dig it up at night.
What's better fish or banana and eggs?
So I can go to the fish market and get fish heads and gutsvtoo.
Thumps DOWN…
IDEA STOLEN FROM NATIVE AMERICANS
i grow Roses and always put a fish carcass under them. it seems to accelerate their growth
