Default Turning fish into fertilizer

The Native Fish Conservation is participating in a carp fishing event in
Texas. The purpose of this event is to remove invasive carp from the waters
of Texas. An estimated two tons of carp are going to be removed from the
waters. However, organizers do not know what to do with all these dead
fish. Does anyone here know how to turn fish into a safe organic
fertilizer?


I used to put a chunk of carp beneath each tomato plant. The plants loved
it as did neighborhood skunks and cats.

Have you tried contacting your county extension agent? They may know how
or someone who can help. Also, the ag dept at a local university/college
should have some answers for you.

It may be as simple as mixing with soil and then turning it. Within a few
months, you may end up with what you need.
