i've talked about this before.take a bucket,say 5 gallon,with holes for drainage.fill full of clean saw dust.use a 1 gallon jug[a milk jug workes great] put 1 cap of fish emulsion into the 1 gallon of water,half a gallon every other day. i dont know about all veggies,but i grew peppers this way and they grew faster and produced a lot of peppers.they are light weight and easy to move around. would like to know how other veggies would work this way. good luck

if you are talking a larger area where you till your soil each year you can put fish,fish pieces, crabs and just about anything like that on the soil in the fall. Till it in then, then wait till spring after the snow melts off to till it more. Instant compost.
If you don't get snow, cover area with leaves and or rock grass(black seaweed that you can get at the beach) and leave for the winter months. Makes a wonderful growing medium and no it does not smell in the spring.

You certainly can. But you could also use seaweed which is great. At your local nursury they should have bags of it. I use either carp blood and bone and there are seaweed solutions. Most of them all you have to do is add to the water before watering your vegies. Im in australia so if over seas im sure they will have something simular

We used to know a guy that just buried the fish in the holes before he planted his plants and swore it worked..but I've never tried it:) I guess you could just till them in too?? Seems like it might draw alot of critters though~
Good Luck!!

tomatoes require an acid soil so you should really plant them in a separate part of your garden some people plant gladiolas with them because they also require an acid soil

yes you can just add the fish in the same hole as the plant you are planting

Put it in the blender and add water as needed to make a solution you can water your garden with. It will attract cats though! LOL
