    I’ve been doing this for 8 years now. The first year I did it I definitely noticed a difference in plant health and vigor, I used the technique on my tomatoes, watermelons, cantaloupes, squash(summer and winter varieties), pumpkins, and peppers, I didn’t notice out of the oridinary as far as expected growth for about 2 months after I transplanted seedlings, but at the point it just exploded! The watermelons were the most impressive, noticeable growth by the day. Depending on expected plant size I gauge how much fish I place in the whole, sometimes as many as 3 filleted carcasses for watermelon and pumpkin! I go crappie fishing regularly through the spring summer and fall, so I always have fish on hand to use in the garden. I have a deep freezer where I even freeze it until I need it…

If you don't have the garden and just a few tomato pots I highly recommend planting a fish head with it. I also wrap a bit of chicken wire around it to keep out animals.

    I've been doing a version of this method for several years now and it definitely makes a difference in the size and vitality of my tomato plants. This year I didn't have any fish guts/parts so I used leftover crawfish tails & heads from a crawfish boil. Next year, I will implement using the whole egg rather than just the shells as well as incorporating the coffee grounds. Thanks for the information!
