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? |

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. |

Not because it's a funny question, but because it brings back memories. About twenty years ago, my older brother (who was in his early twenties at the time) got this idea. He took his little toyota pickup truck to the local reservoir, and proceeded to fill it up with carp. He brought them home, and borrowing a neighbor's chipper/shredder, proceeded to chip them directly into the garden. It made quite a mess, and he was constantly rinsing the shredder off to keep it from gumming up. He then tilled it into the garden. We had to watch out for bones as we weeded for the next couple of years. |

Do you mean this movie? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116282/ I've never seen it, but it sounds pretty funny. |
