A LONG time ago.. well, for me (it was '98) I'd gone fishing with my uncle & cousin in NY and we'd caught 3 nice small mouth bass. I personally don't eat fish, but my uncle wanted them. However, he didn't want to cut/clean/scale them, so I did it (doesn't bother me in the least). I kept the heads, tails, fins, scales, & guts in a 5gal bucket w/water for a week and, after I helped my mom plant 5 tomato plants in a 10' round garden, I dumped the nauseating mess all over the tomato plants. OMG, within a month those were the biggest tomato plants on the planet.. I swear. One plant was actually taller than my mom's Corolla (I had to use a 8' bamboo stake to keep it off the ground). Sure, it was enough to make a buzzard puke w/the smell for the first day or so (nothing quite like rotted fish that'd been boiling in the summer mugginess in a plastic bucket), but we had enough tomatoes to last 2 years (we canned & canned and canned & CANNED.. I think we got over 10 dozen quart bottles that fall).

I can see the banana peel (potassium), but what does bone meal do? I've never used it.. I've seen it along with "blood" meal.. what *is* that stuff?
