Nate I never go on Facebook, and today I did... There is really nothing like this there on my feeds so I am taking a leap and post your videos there if you agree. I've been off Facebook for a while, but I think now is a good time to share you with all of my best and beautiful family members and friends. Blessings my friend. Hope everyone shares this channel ASAP.
@@blueplasma5589 Noone speaking for you. If you don't like it here there are plenty of other places you can go. No good motive in speaking anything negative.
I'll be buying a fishing license this weekend to make more fertilizer and prepare for planting my tahitian melon squash. As always, thanks for sharing your wisdom. Loyal to the soil!
oh yes my friend the Tahitian Squash will thrive with this kind of setup... double or even triple the amount of all three ingredients to last the TMS all season to grow jurassic fruit!!
I plant organic. I have always used fish scraps, an aspirin, rabbit manure & an egg with great results. Like you, NO NEED to fertilize after planting with lots of goodies. I will begin adding coffee grounds.
Nate, how on earth did I find you here. Doesn’t matter. Wow mate, you make dam good sense. I always home garden but for the amount of time and effort I don’t get much crops. Think I know why now, need to follow your genius ideas put some of this into action. Yes I subbed. Many thanks
Another brilliant video as always. My pumpkin plants are quite big approx 1 feet and I am ready to put them in ground. After watching this video, I put a fish about 2 feet down. My Concern now is the roots of my plants may reach the fish within a week maybe bit longer before it decomposes. Is that an issue?
AMAZING !! New convert...thx for the incredible information. We're coming into very difficult times very, very soon; I'm putting these videos in the "PREPARE!" category for just that purpose. That's how good the info is. I want EVERY advantage I can get for myself, family, & neighbor.

Excellent video again my friend. I love the way you break things down for us it makes it makes sense. I live in the Pacific Northwest and recently I harvested a Sasquatch from nearby my home and tried to use that in this method but discovered it was too hard to big the whole big enough to bury it in. So I don't recommend that people try to use a Sasquatch carcass for this method.😊
definitely make your own fish fertilizer and there's no need to dump it into the hole because its already broken down and will not attract the same tsunami of microorganisms... save it for watering with throughout the growing season
Congratulations on the 80k, Nate! 🎉🎉❤❤🎉 You are such an amazing man Now, can I do the same with pineapples (I am growing 2 acres of that) and corn as well? And will just a fish be enough for the field size? Thank you for sharing these great insights with us ❤
this is not good for pots but its good if the raised beds are open on the bottom to the earth yes it'll work great!... but if they're not open on the bottom then no don't use this technique
i would argue that egg is better eaten than used like this, because you use the energy to work on the garden and then poop the egg and poop is good for bacterias
Hey hey from iowaaaaay! I’ll watch the whole video, but imma ask anyway… I have to use cloth pots due to a large black walnut tree in my yard, so I’m sure the earth worms won’t migrate into the bag. Should/can I still do this? Anything I should do differently? I appreciate all your info!
With the forecasted switch to El Nino, do you factor that change into how/what you'll be growing? My area in Socal is projected to be cooler than average, so Im delaying my summer cover crop of cowpeas in favor of growing more tomatoes.
Hi,can i use salted herring? I would soak it first,i have access to unlimited ammounts of it,but its been salted in order to smoke. Hasnt been smoked yet. Would it be good for corn? I guess idd need to burry too many of em.liquid fish is probly better for corn?
Ha! I was going to ask "what if you don't have access to fish?" and you answered it. When my chickens die for whatever reason I bury them in my garden. Can you also use COOKED chicken bones? Can't wait for spring so I can start to use your ideas.
yes you can use cooked things... its essentially "composting in place"... so make a deep hole and bury essentially anything edible into the hole... its just that fish and eggs work really well together and break down much much faster than other meat and bones
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…
Good talk, cheers Nate. Reminds me of how they plant the community vegitables on the very remote Saint Helena Island, burrying all the waste from the fishing industry in trenches and growing on top, the whole community joins in as a civil duty.
Thank you Nate I have always put fish guts in the bottom of my tomatoes. The fertilizer I make all winter is coffee grounds, egg shells and dried poultry bones ground up I add a handful at the bottom of tomato and peppers plants.
@@hihosilver1234 dry them in the oven or I put mine in pan on the back of my wood stove. Then use a second hand blender, garage sale thrift stove and the blend up good. I do the same thing with my egg shells.

ThankYou Nate! Shared the video with family, nextdoor neighbour, and friends. I tried a few years ago with a grandillia plant, I didnt know about the fish. But it grew up the wall to the balcony. It was huge. But we moved away before we got to eat the fruits. Awesome video!❤❤❤❤❤
ThanQ again, Nate for another wonderfully educational video! Folks, we have a Gold Mine of information in Nate! Spread the word, please. He will turn a lot of thumbs GREEN for people if they follow his tried and true advice.
I just subbed recently, and I'm enjoying your videos--thank you for being here and being such a good teacher. (I've been gardening for 45 years, but still learn things about it almost every day!).
I love seeing the roots of the cover crop and how well that prepared the soil for us to plant in. Thanks for showing that. I never would have guessed they went so deep. It's amazing to see how black and rich your soil is even at that depth. My great soil is only in the top 6 inches or so. Next winter, will aim for deeper roots for deeper rich soil!
Can’t wait to get some worms jolted. The fish seems to be the key to fertility and explains the attraction of the water to humans. Time to source some out. Hope you get to 100 k with this great channel this summer.
I've been watching videos about composting and vermicomposting for months now. And I'm thinking that since I don't always have fish at hand, I have other meats available that I can throw down holes to compost in place. One youtuber threw whole roast chiken and raw chiken in his worm bins as experiment. Mind you, he has several pounds of hungry worms that can decimate food very fast. Where the roast chickens were eaten clean save for the bones after 3 weeks, the raw chicken were still pretty much untouched by the worms, still rotting away but too tough for those guys to start nibbling the meat. Cooked meat is eaten by worms far faster than raw meat. That was pretty much the same type of results on other channels. Cooked meat composts faster than raw meat, with or without worms. So I think if I can't throw a whole piece of cooked meat, I can cook it partially so that the decomposition process can quick start and the raw parts will decompose slower, providing for the plant like a slow release fertilizer.
yes you can but go a little deeper and use a bit more than you saw in this video... about a gallon of food scraps would be ideal for something like a squash or watermelon!
Yes, this is an absolutely awesome idea, except whenever I put some dead animal or fish in the ground, something digs it out after a few or several days. I cover the area with stones, it digs under the stone, spray cayenne pepper, put traps, cover the dead animal with cups of lye nothing can stop that thing from getting the burried stuff. Not sure what creature it is, but it is pretty clever. It destroyed some of my new plantings because of that digging. Any suggestions?
Nate. What do you think of this. Love to know that too. ?? 5 gallon bucket w. lid, soil to bury a chopped fish. Indoors. ?? That's a lot of buckets. Stores get rid of pickle, icing buckets etc. Gonna have to scrap left icing out of bucket though, maybe. Shouldn't take that long to decompose. Ready for fall crop planting. During winter for spring. Cheapest good bags of dirt to start. If it needs heat I'd put in front of my garage door where it gets a lot of sun. But we buried gold fish, RIP, behind our house that gets no sun and it decomposed within a few months.
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!
This also works great in pots. I have been getting fish heads and put them in the pot and cover it with 6"-8" of soil. I planted a couple with out the fish heads and the ones with fish heads did significantly better. 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.
Last year l made 3 compost trenches, about 1,5 foot deep, filled in with sythed weeds and grasses, kitchen scraps, cow/chicken/duck/geese/rabbit manure, ashes, duck weed,egg shells and here and there offal from poultry slaughtering. And then planted and seeded on and along the edges of what was then a small berm.. plants were doing very well! 🌱🌾🌻🌴
Good morning Nate. Love your videos. You know you can also utilize fish to make fish sauce by putting your raw fish in a glass container with salt and let it ferment for 2 years. Happy gardening 😊
It's what i do with what is left from the rats and mice my cats catch and eat... ;) A little spray with EM-1 before covering back with soil won't hurt anything... And yes, imhe, better wait 3 weeks to a month before planting anything...
Hey Nate. What would you bury if you did not have any fish and you were a vegan like me? We have millions of grasshoppers here in Texas this year. How about several handfuls of dead grasshoppers? LOL
😇not one of my favorites. tis make-work stuff - too many things going for the busy gardener, particularly when earlier videos covers making fish fertilizer. there has to be a video that puts it all together. then gardens would be quite a joy...blessings to all
Wonder if I can use comfrey or alfalfa pellets instead of fish? I'll have every bear on this mountain sniffing the air, digging around looking for the fish! I'm hesistant to use any animal products. Input would be appreciated.
hey nate! i have coons and foxes that would dig up that fish....do you not have them?....a coon dug up a chicken manured potato bed the other day...didn't eat a thing...just dug it up
I have ducks chickens turkeys so I have plenty eggs and we fish so good there and I have several restaurants and gas station to get there coffee grounds and Chinese restaurants for crab leggs,
Going back and rewatching as I get ready to start seeds and making raised beds as well. I am overrun in rabbits and squirrels here Is there any deterrents for these. I would like to be able to harvest and not feed the wildlife. I have not had such an abundance except for the last 2 years.
I live on a lake and the fishermen bring me the leftovers for my compost. Among all the activators, whole fish works faster and better than anything, and I have access to many kinds of manure from a farm down the road. Fish are best. P.s. worms also like grounds for their digestive process.
We have been burying our fish carcasses and shrimp heads and peels for 4 years now. My dh fishes a lot and we eat fish often. I noticed last year I kept hitting fish bones when I went to put more fish in…my raised beds are full of fish.

Gernally roots moves toward sides insted of downward so bury this fish 3 to 4 inch away in side

We have been burying our fish carcasses and shrimp heads and peels for 4 years now. My dh fishes a lot and we eat fish often. I noticed last year I kept hitting fish bones when I went to put more fish in…my raised beds are full of fish.
Thank you for your video. Can you tell me what the purpose of the egg is?
Thank you for your information !
Hey there, great info! I’m your Uncles neighbor. We were talking about his garden recently and he told me about your channel. Definitely have a lot more of your videos to catch up on! Lol.
Love it man! Maybe season with a couple dashes of biochar?
That's fantastic! I would like to know why you put the fish that deep.
I never see any worms will this help bring them in, i was thinking of buying worms to put in my beds
