Here's one picture of mine. I need to get a closer picture and a picture of the corn/beans/squash bed. The squash is doing terrible, like the tomatoes. Though, I put down some Diatemaceous earth last night. Hopefully that will help.. I figured out that I wasn't watering my maters enough and the fish carcass has done wonders! Fish carcass?? Tell me more.

Buried a fish carcass under each tomato plant. Two weeks later one grew an inch overnight and has never looked better.

Here are a couple more pics. There are four rows 75 yards long. The 2 outside rows are black eyed peas and the two inside are corn. Haven't came up all the way yet, but everything this year has been really slow about coming up.

Fish remains are a great source of nutrients , especially nitrogen. Every time I clean fish I bury what's left in the garden. If you clean lots of catfish, clip off the spines or bury 'em pretty deep. You don't want to step on one of those.

I buried em about a foot down. I dug down beside the mater and made a uturn under the plant and stuffed the fish in there. Also, I have a confession, I was checking the moisture in my container potatoes and felt a tater so I pulled it up. Nice little red Norland. Picked my biggest pea too. That pea was sweet as all get out and the tater was the best raw tater I've ever had!

"Stinky" is subjective, I suppose. The smell of freshly-manured ground reminds me of all the good stuff that'll be growing there. Then again, I don't roll up my windows when driving by a dead skunk.

I have a few blooming.. My bucket plants are about half-arsed. I'm going to start fertilizing with dead fish.. My problem is wanting to grow too many things in the limited space I have.
