James my dad's hobby was fishing, upon cleaning fresh fish he'd bury the head & inner stuff...so unprocessed buried dead fish works amazingly not processed canned sardines.💙
Love your teaching videos! When we cook salmon, we skin the raw salmon and put it in a bag in the freezer - and put it in our tomato planting holes each spring.
I've buried fish under plants for years. Not necessarily have to use sardines. Salmon scraps from restaurants, fish I've caught and the guts and whole small fish like bream. The Native Americans/Indians did the same thing when planting. Only thing I make sure to do is use lots of lime to keep the smell down to deter animals from digging it up
I love how even though your garden is super successful, you never stop thinking of ways to improve and are willing to try new ideas! And ❤❤❤❤ for Tuck!
Rather than cooked and processed canned sardines, I prefer to purchase a package of frozen smelt for this purpose. Simply allow them to thaw, and drop one or two smelt (whichever you prefer) into the hole when planting a tomato plant, or any other plant. My veggie plants have always done well with this method.
Awesome fish waste can't go wrong with. I'm a fisherman and it all is out to use from homemade fish emulsion to burying carcass that are chopped to little pieces. Thanks for sharing your time and experience with us, hats off to you sir. Keep up the good work.
My old yard was on old farmland and it was like a pet cemetery. I grew tomatoes there, beefsteak, and they were the absolute best tomatoes I've ever had. They were so red inside and had as much flavor as a honey crisp apple. This was in Bristol, PA, about an hour from James.
Keep experimenting! 👍🏼 My grandpa taught me to be an angler. If we happened to hook a carp, we would bury it under his roses. Pa grew impressive roses. I hypothesize that any fish (or even just the parts you don't eat) would work as well as canned sardines. 🤔 After those tomato vines finish their season, you should scoop out the soil with the sardines and examine it. I would watch that video.
Better idea if you like fishing. Catch invasive fish and use those to bury. You can have a bag in the freezer that you can stick the fish in so you can save it for next planting season.
I couldn’t work a garden this year, I broke my knee in February and was on my back for three months, but I did do this last year here in Texas. I had a three plant cluster of cherry tomatoes in a 3 gal bucket. I buried a whole can of sardines in water(got the idea from you) it was the only plant that survived the serious heat here and it spanned around 14 ft in three different directions! Over productive really! Love your channel!
I found this compost with biochar at Walmart this year. I have more tomatoes, chiles and cucumbers than I have ever had in 25 years of veggie gardening. The avocado and lemon trees love it too. It did prevent my grapes from flowering, tho. I don’t even know what biochar is but it works!!!!
I have always used fish when I plant my trees and otherplants 9:20 . I have never had a plant go into transplant shock when doing this. It's a great way to use up old fish that's been in the freezer that would normally go in the trash. I'll have to give the sardines a try too. Thanks for this video. Great content!! Give Tuck loves ❤❤❤
Great video that saved me time! The reason I haven't necessarily tried this is the fact that the sardines have been fully cooked. However, it seems to have helped some in the short term and you may be surprised by the final outcome which I'm sure will be beneficial. I love these trial and error side by side comparisons which I'm sure take quite a bit of time, the growing season, to complete but it is def a plus to see! Thanks man!
James, I have used fresh or frozen fish heads when I plant my tomatoes. I place garden lime under and on top of the fish heads so that animals won’t dig up my fish and my plants. I’ve had wonderful tomato plants. I’ve never used processed fish.
One of my husband's fish in his tank died and we buried it in a potted moringa tree that had already died twice. It was coming back but after we buried that fish in the soil, boy did we see a growth bump! I will tell my husband to keep the water next time he cleans the tank!
I mix my own fertilizer. 15-15-15 as a base with some Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), Iron Sulfate, and ground egg shells from my own chickens. I sprinkle a bit in the hole, then my own mulched dirt, then potting soil and the Tomato and Peppers. Then I put my wood chips around the base. It works well and the sulfates break down the Calcium in the egg shells and helps against end rot that way later on.
I usually love your content and consider you one of the best YT'er out there for gardening. I do love fun little experiments & do them myself - but you recommending this one as something you should try has left you open to some criticism. More analysis, including cost & efficacy vs other fertilizers, are needed before giving out a recommendation IMO. Of course, any dead matter, plant or animal, will contain some nutrients & sardines are no different. But a few things that come to mind that need to be determined before a recommendation are; what nutrients do sardines provide and are those nutrients something the plant uses; when will the nutrients in the fish break down into something useful for the plant (i.e. 3 months, 6 months - I suspect it depends on the micro health of your soil and best case is a better part of a year); what depth is optimal (did any nutrients just wash down out of the reach of the roots); do little soil bugs & worms eat it up and carry it away and how far; obviously this study is 1 test and 1 control - so this is not enough to start giving out recommendations. I was very surprised when you said it is something you should try. I will still watch you vids, but as a fan, I thought I would touch base.
James you are such a great influence , love your enthusiasm and your love for nature & the garden. Experiments 💯 , looking forward to more. Btw was just wondering , are you a vegetarian ?? Lots of ♥️♥️♥️♥️ for King Tuck 🐕
Okay one quick question. And this has to do with a lot of these experimental videos with soil, amendments, etc. Are the plants you using clones of each other or separate phenotypes? As a science nerd, this is important.
I usually sprinkle some Bokashi on the organic stuff when I need it to break down. Little bit goes a long way for sure. Top dressing with some barley meal keeps things active and alive in my garden too. Water in some ready activated EM-1 and you’ll be happy with the results!
I have way too many carnivore critters roaming around to try to bury something that smells so yummy to them. Just putting extra bone meal in the soil causes a lot of unwanted digging and scratching. Trying raised beds with removable protective covers.
I use low smell fish emulsion. It says "no" smell on the bottle but that 😂 isn't true. Anyway I got some that didn't say anything about "no" smell and it was PUNGENT. It works and it is more bioavailable
James , can you talk about plants that keep through the winter and how to keep them safe so that they start growing in the spring… I’m new with this. I’m in 7A and last year I pulled everything out and someone told me oh you could’ve kept your peppers. You could’ve kept a lot of things throughout the winter… is that true in 7A because we sometimes get very heavy snow we haven’t in a while… but I’d still like to know which plants I could keep so that they grow better but I also want to know how to keep them…🐕❤❤
Hi James, do you have a video that tells us where you buy some of the products you use? I’m interested in getting some of the insect screening you use on your raised beds. Do they keep out flea beetles? Also your shade clothes for the raised beds. Thanks!
Interesting - thank you. The experiment would be more conclusive with multiple plants per treatment (fish vs non-fish). (This is an essential requirement in a statistical comparison; e.g. 3 or more plants per treatment). Downside, of course, is that it uses more space in your garden.
I used sardines and my tomatoes did well enough. This year though, the raccoons just trashed wherever I used them. Multiple times. Had to go without using sardines this year.
Not to be negative, but some fair criticism: Although it probably helped you’d have to run at least 3 of each to get a good picture, 6 plants, 2 plants can produce a fluke result.. Also, unless you’re a small time gardener with a few plants it’s too expensive. You’re far better spending 10$ on a bottle of liquid fish emulsion that could water rows. Even better if that fish emulsion is brewed in a compost tea with other nutrients. Unless you’re a fisherman with extra fish parts, it isn’t ideal, cheers. Edit: I hadn’t read other posts before posting, but similar sentiment.
James, how do you keep the birds and chipmunks from pecking and snacking on your tomatoes? You have so many ripe tomatoes in your garden. If I leave ripe tomatoes on the vine, the chipmunks and birds always gets them before I have a chance to pick them.
Yes, I'm going to mention cats and raccoons. The raccoons next door would love me to do that. I had to move my hummingbird feeders away from the fence. They climbed the fence, grabbed the pole and turned the feeder upside down to drink the juice. Last year they ripped my tent to gain entry. Washed their dirty little hands in my waterfall & walked all over my furniture. 4 years having a tent and they never did that. Why did they do it I wondered. I had went through my seeds in the tent that day and didn't notice I dropped a sunflower seed packet that was empty from the year before. Guess they smelled the seed residue cause they chewed it and spit it out. Just residue! They will find a way if they smell it. I didn't plant sunflowers this year or last because they tried to climb the stalk and broke the stalks to get the heads to fall on the ground. I'm guessing it's your fence because I tried rough mulch, poinyg plastic things from Amz, placing glass soda bottles around and pinwheels to deter feral cats from using my garden areas for litter boxes. I think the glass bottles help the most and I wrap tulle netting around my homemade (concrete reinforcement wire) cages that are close to 40 years old. I remove the tulle when tomatoes that are ripening are about 24 inches up from the ground. Seems to keep the varmint that would take a bite out of my just turning red tomatoes from having a sample. Cages are rusty but still sturdy. But there are some determined cats and they find a way to push the bottles aside once I remove the netting. I've seen the cats climb the wood privacy fence and the raccoons dig underneath to make a path. I keep throwing big rocks and bricks where they dig. Amazing what you see on a trail camera. One was trying to bite a kitten!!!
I bury fish under everything when I plant as that’s time when I’m getting back out and getting back to fishing! Mostly Crappie and catfish scraps after filleting them….
Go to a local market and get a few fish heads. Those are cheaper, bigger and better to bury under plants. I think the Chinese did that already thousands of years ago.

It gives me great joy that someone is actually testing some of these garden myths .
My old yard was on old farmland and it was like a pet cemetery. I grew tomatoes there, beefsteak, and they were the absolute best tomatoes I've ever had. They were so red inside and had as much flavor as a honey crisp apple. This was in Bristol, PA, about an hour from James.
Keep experimenting! 👍🏼
My grandpa taught me to be an angler. If we happened to hook a carp, we would bury it under his roses.
Pa grew impressive roses.
I hypothesize that any fish (or even just the parts you don't eat) would work as well as canned sardines.
🤔
After those tomato vines finish their season, you should scoop out the soil with the sardines and examine it. I would watch that video.
My dad always buried fish scraps in his garden that always did fantastic!!!
Better idea if you like fishing. Catch invasive fish and use those to bury. You can have a bag in the freezer that you can stick the fish in so you can save it for next planting season.

You never do these kind of experimental videos. I'm in 30 seconds and the theme song. Looking forward to it!
Someone has tested this experiment already. Hollis and Nancy Homestead. This is not new.
I found this compost with biochar at Walmart this year. I have more tomatoes, chiles and cucumbers than I have ever had in 25 years of veggie gardening. The avocado and lemon trees love it too. It did prevent my grapes from flowering, tho. I don’t even know what biochar is but it works!!!!

I'm appalled that you would waste a good can of sardines on a tomato plant when it belongs on a cracker😂
❤❤Tuck❤❤
😂
lol
I think it was a great experiment regardless. Besides, I don't eat meat so it didn't bother me. 😊
Great idea with the sardines! I'll try it. Thanks to James and Tuck! 🥕🥕❤
You are an avid gardener and I commend your enthusiasm and dedication to gardening. Keep up the good work!
Good video! I usually feed the soil in the fall, by adding leaves, lawn clippings, and even old Jack-O- Lanterns in the holes I've chosen to plant in!
Learned something again from this awesome channel James 👍
Rice water and your plants every plant will flourish ❤️ with a lot of fruits 🍎 👌or flowers 🌸
Great video that saved me time!

Now I'm singing the fish head song.😂
Thank for showing this gardening tip. I will definitely try this next year. ❤️❤️❤️ for Tuck.
I started using the water from cleaning my aquarium for this. Fish emullion is sold but why when you can... thanx for your truthfulness!
One of my husband's fish in his tank died and we buried it in a potted moringa tree that had already died twice. It was coming back but after we buried that fish in the soil, boy did we see a growth bump! I will tell my husband to keep the water next time he cleans the tank!

Garden lime will cover the fish smell.. works for me 😊
Helps with mass graves
I love experiments.
She blinded me with Science. Song by Thomas Dolby! Missed the Tuck 😍on this one!
Always interesting videos guy!
Interesting that there is NO THUMBS UP button!!! Blessings, James, to you and Tuck💖💖🤗🤗🤗🤗
Great show, finally your hittin that ball ,
Dude,,,,,love your passion man.
This makes me more open to fish emulsion and saving fish skin scraps. Thanks
Great experiment. Lets me know to use even more of the stuff I throw away in the garden. Anything for nutrients in the soil!!
Loved this James! We're trying electroculture stakes in our garden for the first time. I'm skeptical but let's see how it goes!
James you are such a great influence , love your enthusiasm and your love for nature & the garden. Experiments 💯 , looking forward to more. Btw was just wondering , are you a vegetarian ?? Lots of ♥️♥️♥️♥️ for King Tuck 🐕

How about electroculture James? It works!
If you bury shark instead of sardines you will grow Sharkmatoes.
Looking good
Sardines are all of them wild caught! Marketers trick folks into thinking that "wild-caught" means something! special!
Thanks for sharing. I've been having problems with the tops of my tomatoes cracking...any suggestions?
Ok cool. Let me go grab them sardines out my cabinets 😂 Thanks ☺️
Sardines are expensive now days to hell with that. I do use my fish leftovers after cleaning them. But not sardines lol😂
Thank you for sharing 😁
Hey James, you ever thought about taking things that would normally go to compost and putting them in a blender, then pouring it right into the soil?
Missed Tuck💞
I know this has been mentioned before. I was wondering how much space you are using for your garden. Thanks!
If you clean a whole fish, you can use the guts, scales, and gills for this purpose, rather than burying a perfectly good can of sardines.
Hi James, do you have a video that tells us where you buy some of the products you use? I’m interested in getting some of the insect screening you use on your raised beds. Do they keep out flea beetles? Also your shade clothes for the raised beds. Thanks!

You can do this with fish. Eggs. Kitchen scraps. Etc. Also add aspirin.
Maybe blending the fish in a blender first then pouring it in the hole? I blend up greens for my plants with and i notice better fruiting
Growing my first tomato plants this year. Using clackamas coots living organic soil method. Or the buildasoil method, one in the same really.
It works. I tried it
I used sardines and my tomatoes did well enough. This year though, the raccoons just trashed wherever I used them. Multiple times. Had to go without using sardines this year.
Love you joyful enthusiasm and wonderful tips 😘 kisses to Tuck

PS. Missed Tuck but hopefully he's just chilling under the comfort of the a/c. Take him a cuke and give him some hugs and ❤❤❤
I'm wondering if cooked vs uncooked would make a difference.
Can I use this for corn? Mine suck this year.
Wouldn't this be the same as adding fish emulsion fertilizer?
So is that tomato still…vegetarian? ❤Tuckeeeee!❤
I want to try this but I’m afraid all the (constantly loose) neighborhood dogs would follow their nose. 🐾
I do use fish emulsion and love it.
A good experiment needs multiple plants. One seed might be better or worse so if the fish helps, then multiply plants would benefit.
I bury fish under everything when I plant as that’s time when I’m getting back out and getting back to fishing! Mostly Crappie and catfish scraps after filleting them….
💜💜💜 Tuck and tomatoes
❤tuck tuck and i know u already posted a video of u telling us what u use but i would like a more detailed vidoe of how u take care of certain thing ❤
The plant without fish the fruit looked slightly larger. Did you use the mycos on the plant with no fish?
WOW 😮 look at all those tomatoes 😂❤
How often do you water your tomatoes?
How do you pick the tomatoes from the top of that plant? I mean, you're tall, but those things are going to grow another 4 feet!
Good luck ❤
Nice !!
would the mercury in canned sardines pose and concern?
Feed it a sardine smoothie? You wouldnt need to wait for it to break down
How fast is the fish breaking down and becoming bio available this year verses next year??
Go to a local market and get a few fish heads. Those are cheaper, bigger and better to bury under plants.
I think the Chinese did that already thousands of years ago.
The one year I used fish, a cat came the night after planting and ripped up all my plants. Maybe I’ll try canned sardines to avoid some of the smell.
My father inlaw is a fisherman. He puts catfish guts in his garden and his tomatoes are as big as dinner plates
What about that awful smelling mackerel in the can? Will that work?
You can do the same with roadkill and it's free. 😂😂😂 Maybe leave out Bambi though.
Where is Tuck??? I would have considered his opinion also.😊
Cool..😊
❤❤❤❤
Where is Tuck ? On vacation ?
Then the racooms, skunks etc.. dig it out and destroy your crop.
