oz, back (to the joy of not quite all)

Don't eat the top of the food chain. That is where all the pollution
gets concentrated.

Actually, my question was more along the lines of: "Aren't ALL fish
predators?"

I seemed to have baffled the local Master Gardeners with my query about
contaminates in fish emulsion. Wrote to a UC Davis professor of
aquaculture. It may be a conflict of interest for him but hopefully
he is a full tilt academic.

Another experiment I intend to do this year is do my own fish
fertilizer.
I have a bass/catfish/bluegill pond that is disgustingly fertile
(runoff through 60 acres of oak forest and with 30,000 lbs of
wallboard scrap on the bottom bringing the pH to slightly alkaline)
and needs to be fished at a higher rate. I am thinking of harvesting
a zillion bluegills, running them through a "bass-O-matic" and mixing
it with soil, peat moss, etc and running a test bed on veggies.

Has anybody here'bouts tried anything similar?

cheers

oz, thinking of starting peas in peat pots even with ice on the pond
