Many years ago I was on a mates farm and we were watching a rural gardening show . They were visiting a ladies house somewhere out in the wheat belt and her plants looked amazing, every time the reporter asked how come that plant looks so well her answer was , you dig a hole put a dead animal in it , her garden was lush she must have had a few dead animals , just reminded me of grasswrens cat patrol ....pete

Best vegie garden I ever had grew on dead fish .
What was left after filleting or even whole carp were buried deep enough so the plants grew above them :thumbup:
