A whole fish for each seed? holy carp, that's a lotta fish for a field of corn!!!
When I planted the roses on my west side of the back yard, I waited a month, and then I used the MiracleGro shaker can. It was supposed to feed for 3 months and I did that because I was afraid of forgetting that side of the yard (so new to me). It worked nicely!
I didn't lose any roses on that side of the yard. This year, I've been stingy w/feeding (and watering, and caring for.. ) and you can definitely see that I haven't taken care of them at all. :(
I just drained a 65 gal freshwater aquarium that was in my living room. I didn't dump it down the drain, I snaked my drain hose (a "python", if you will) outside and into one of my flower beds. Can't see all that water going to waste!

Plus the fish poo.. free fertilizer! Now I don't recommend this with saltwater tanks....
