    D.A.A.S.69 I do that exactly in our Genesis Community Garden with fish I get from the fishmarket. After they are no longer fresh they gave me about 50 pounds one time and I buried it a good 2 feet deep into the4x8 bed. The next spring I turned the soil and found bones and heads. Strange thing is all of a sudden our garden now had a huge collection of feral cats. LOL

    Paracelsus, thanks ,my friend, Good stuff,
    When we first started growing outdoors, long time ago, we always put 2-3dead nice size fish in the bottom of our holes, an boy did we grow some monsters, too.
    It's was planted very near the MsRiver, and we used river water only, to water with, no ph checking, it grew like, crazy, and still does. Your soil is Everything. Lol.
    You want to do some serious reading, ?? Read about MsDelta, alluvial plains soil, one small area in Ms. That's got it, not to be confused with MsRiver Delta soil, the alluvial soil is alot more fertile than the MsRiver Delta soil. If you can believe that.

    D.A.A.S.69 when you have the time here is a full lesson on Biodynamic farming. The first part in France is in English with some heavy accents then it moves to farm school in Australia for in depth lessons on all the facets of Biodynamic agriculture. It was a great review for me and gave me amore in depth under standing of the science behind Steiner’s connection to the subtle life forces of our Cosmic universe.

    Click image for larger version  Name:	 Views:	1 Size:	667.4 KB ID:	182330 Rudolph Steiner believed the cycles of the moon were as important to the life of a plant as the sun, the earth and even water. When he explained the principles of Biodynamics he said the best time to sow is when the moon is turning full and drawing the waters of the planet to itself, even the moisture in the soil will be charged with its cosmic energies. Then as the seedlings sprout after the moon has begun waning, the new moon will slowly draw that force from the earth as it waxes full again charging the plant with full moon cosmic energies.

    I began the germination process at 4:30 AM March 1 by soaking the seeds in water for 48 hours followed by putting them in paper towels for another 48 hours, dropping them into the soil approximitly 12 noon March 4th.

    The first full moon of March is no ordinary full moon.

    According to the Farmer’s Almanac, it’s actually called the full worm moon, a nickname given by Native Americans — the Algonquin tribes in particular — who used lunar phases to track the seasons.

    “At the time of this Moon, the ground begins to softenenough for earthworm casts to reappear, inviting the return of robins and migrating birds— a true sign of spring,” the almanac reported. “Roots start to push their way up through the soil, and the Earth experiences a re-birth as it awakens from its winter slumber.”

    Paracelsus, that machine must be awesome, all I've got is 2 small Bubblers aerating my worm compost teas, an my plants love any of those homemade teas, but a machine like that one, would do a tremendous job.
