Thanks, Sheryl. Good info! I use fish emulsion at the moment and a little Osmocote on the daylilies (per Lyle). I also compost all year but don't seem to have enough to hit everything in the garden.
Funny, *fish heads*. I eat a lot of salmon and my Standard Poodle LOVES poached salmon. You have to be careful with timing in getting rid of the bones and or skin. I mean you don't want it sitting in the trash in 115 degree heat. Soooooo. over a couple of weeks I buried the skin when it was untimely to put it into the trash. I was puzzled when Lexie came into the house covered in soil (muzzle/feet) WHAT? Then I noticed the dug up area where I'd buried the fish. I mean it was buried about 6 inches deep. Good schnozola, that doggy.
