Homemade Fertilizer – Part II
Other than eggshells, did you know you can also use fish heads and aspirin as fertilizer for your tomato plants? Check out this post from Grow Better Veggies. Now I don't know where you're going to get the fish heads, but she got them from a restaurant where she grow for. David from Segua Ania also has a post about using aspirin as fertilizer, check it out.
I mean... really... fish heads?!?!
To add on to that, you can also put shrimp, crab, or lobster shells. Doesn't it sounds like the kitchen garbage bin?

I like the idea of making use of waste…but seafood left-over seems a bit smelly after a day under the sun

I will be trying that fish head fertilizer for the tomatoes — I just hope the dogs don’t go digging them up!

My Grandfather was a Gardener in Beverly Hills for Bob Hope, Red Skelton and Jack Benny.
He was big on Fish Heads, Egg Shells and Hair all with great results.
Just planted a Haas’ Avacado Tree today and used a 3 lb Fish Head which I got at an Asia Market for $2.

Rowena – my coworker tried the fish head fertilizer and her dogs dug them all up last year!
Kevin – did I read “hair” as fertilizer? I’d love to hear more about that!
