Anyone ever do this? I cleaned mess of bream the other day & saved all the scraps to put in tomato & pepper holes before planting. Worked for indians so thought I'd try it & see.

I've always heard that's how the Indians did it. I thought about trying it with some carp after bowfishing. But I was always afraid something would come along and dig up the fish and ruin my plants in the process. So I never did try it.
Mine has fence around it, so should be safe on animals

I go every winter and catch about 60 skipjack specifically for our tomatoes. Put one under each plant. Production increased significantly

no issues with scavengers?
It works very well. The mess of bream I caught a month ago I put in my tomato holes in the raised beds (fenced in) are ahead of the others. On another note I cleaned out my hen house in February and put the litter around about 23 Green giant Arborvitae. Forgot about 3 elsewhere . There is a visible difference.

Never but they are buried 12" deep in raised beds
As mine are

Mine would be in natural ground. Too late for this year as I finally stuck them in the ground today but I would be willing to run them side by side next year
