Once again Nate, Bang up job on production. Laser accuracy to the talking point of video with no fail instructions. You’re the GOAT of garden RUclipsrs. Thank you brother.
@@blueplasma5589 Noone speaking for you. If you don't like it here there are plenty of other places you can go. No good motive in speaking anything negative.
I’ve been doing this for 8 years now. The first year I did it I definitely noticed a difference in plant health and vigor, I used the technique on my tomatoes, watermelons, cantaloupes, squash(summer and winter varieties), pumpkins, and peppers, I didn’t notice out of the oridinary as far as expected growth for about 2 months after I transplanted seedlings, but at the point it just exploded! The watermelons were the most impressive, noticeable growth by the day. Depending on expected plant size I gauge how much fish I place in the whole, sometimes as many as 3 filleted carcasses for watermelon and pumpkin! I go crappie fishing regularly through the spring summer and fall, so I always have fish on hand to use in the garden. I have a deep freezer where I even freeze it until I need it…
Good talk, cheers Nate. Reminds me of how they plant the community vegitables on the very remote Saint Helena Island, burrying all the waste from the fishing industry in trenches and growing on top, the whole community joins in as a civil duty.
Thank you Nate I have always put fish guts in the bottom of my tomatoes. The fertilizer I make all winter is coffee grounds, egg shells and dried poultry bones ground up I add a handful at the bottom of tomato and peppers plants.
@@hihosilver1234 dry them in the oven or I put mine in pan on the back of my wood stove. Then use a second hand blender, garage sale thrift stove and the blend up good. I do the same thing with my egg shells.
I discovered you while ago, can say one of my favourite if not the best channel:) I m Polish and of course English is not my native language, but your speech is so clear and understandable in 98%:) such a good advices, easy with not too much talking....❤thank you❤
thank you for the positive energy my friend I appreciate you!! yes I spent many years in non English speaking countries so I still have a habit of speaking very clearly!
@GardenLikeAViking …LOVE your content, I always learn so much. 👍 Friendly FYI … BACTERIA is plural-not “bacterias” whereas BACTERIUM is the singular form. 👍👍👍
ThankYou Nate! Shared the video with family, nextdoor neighbour, and friends. I tried a few years ago with a grandillia plant, I didnt know about the fish. But it grew up the wall to the balcony. It was huge. But we moved away before we got to eat the fruits. Awesome video!❤❤❤❤❤
ThanQ again, Nate for another wonderfully educational video! Folks, we have a Gold Mine of information in Nate! Spread the word, please. He will turn a lot of thumbs GREEN for people if they follow his tried and true advice.
I just subbed recently, and I'm enjoying your videos--thank you for being here and being such a good teacher. (I've been gardening for 45 years, but still learn things about it almost every day!).
I love seeing the roots of the cover crop and how well that prepared the soil for us to plant in. Thanks for showing that. I never would have guessed they went so deep. It's amazing to see how black and rich your soil is even at that depth. My great soil is only in the top 6 inches or so. Next winter, will aim for deeper roots for deeper rich soil!
Can’t wait to get some worms jolted. The fish seems to be the key to fertility and explains the attraction of the water to humans. Time to source some out. Hope you get to 100 k with this great channel this summer.
yes you can but go a little deeper and use a bit more than you saw in this video... about a gallon of food scraps would be ideal for something like a squash or watermelon!
I've been doing a version of this method for several years now and it definitely makes a difference in the size and vitality of my tomato plants. This year I didn't have any fish guts/parts so I used leftover crawfish tails & heads from a crawfish boil. Next year, I will implement using the whole egg rather than just the shells as well as incorporating the coffee grounds. Thanks for the information!
I'll be buying a fishing license this weekend to make more fertilizer and prepare for planting my tahitian melon squash. As always, thanks for sharing your wisdom. Loyal to the soil!
oh yes my friend the Tahitian Squash will thrive with this kind of setup... double or even triple the amount of all three ingredients to last the TMS all season to grow jurassic fruit!!
This also works great in pots. I have been getting fish heads and put them in the pot and cover it with 6"-8" of soil. I planted a couple with out the fish heads and the ones with fish heads did significantly better. If you don't have the garden and just a few tomato pots I highly recommend planting a fish head with it. I also wrap a bit of chicken wire around it to keep out animals.
Last year l made 3 compost trenches, about 1,5 foot deep, filled in with sythed weeds and grasses, kitchen scraps, cow/chicken/duck/geese/rabbit manure, ashes, duck weed,egg shells and here and there offal from poultry slaughtering. And then planted and seeded on and along the edges of what was then a small berm.. plants were doing very well! 🌱🌾🌻🌴
Yes, this is an absolutely awesome idea, except whenever I put some dead animal or fish in the ground, something digs it out after a few or several days. I cover the area with stones, it digs under the stone, spray cayenne pepper, put traps, cover the dead animal with cups of lye nothing can stop that thing from getting the burried stuff. Not sure what creature it is, but it is pretty clever. It destroyed some of my new plantings because of that digging. Any suggestions?
Nate. What do you think of this. Love to know that too. ?? 5 gallon bucket w. lid, soil to bury a chopped fish. Indoors. ?? That's a lot of buckets. Stores get rid of pickle, icing buckets etc. Gonna have to scrap left icing out of bucket though, maybe. Shouldn't take that long to decompose. Ready for fall crop planting. During winter for spring. Cheapest good bags of dirt to start. If it needs heat I'd put in front of my garage door where it gets a lot of sun. But we buried gold fish, RIP, behind our house that gets no sun and it decomposed within a few months.
I've been watching videos about composting and vermicomposting for months now. And I'm thinking that since I don't always have fish at hand, I have other meats available that I can throw down holes to compost in place. One youtuber threw whole roast chiken and raw chiken in his worm bins as experiment. Mind you, he has several pounds of hungry worms that can decimate food very fast. Where the roast chickens were eaten clean save for the bones after 3 weeks, the raw chicken were still pretty much untouched by the worms, still rotting away but too tough for those guys to start nibbling the meat. Cooked meat is eaten by worms far faster than raw meat. That was pretty much the same type of results on other channels. Cooked meat composts faster than raw meat, with or without worms. So I think if I can't throw a whole piece of cooked meat, I can cook it partially so that the decomposition process can quick start and the raw parts will decompose slower, providing for the plant like a slow release fertilizer.
I live on a lake and the fishermen bring me the leftovers for my compost. Among all the activators, whole fish works faster and better than anything, and I have access to many kinds of manure from a farm down the road. Fish are best. P.s. worms also like grounds for their digestive process.
Hey there, great info! I’m your Uncles neighbor. We were talking about his garden recently and he told me about your channel. Definitely have a lot more of your videos to catch up on! Lol.
Great information as usual Nategar the great. You are the best teacher I've found. My potatoes are doing great using your method except I used plastic totes. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge with us. Still waiting for the Viking gardening apparel.
I don't have access to the fish parts so I use sardines packed in water. (Drained) Also, just an FYI; on the big fishing boats they catch and can right on the boat. Wish I had access to some of the yucky parts. I would think fish heads would be the best. Lots of nutrients there.
yes absolutely the heads are great!!... but the best of all is the entire fish in its wholeness that has the best effect of all but I just love to eat the fish first!
I also like to dig holes next to plants and throw compostable food scraps, vegetables, leftovers, eggshells, coffee grounds, paper towels and cover it back up. Works great and feeds the plants through the microorganisms.
I plant organic. I have always used fish scraps, an aspirin, rabbit manure & an egg with great results. Like you, NO NEED to fertilize after planting with lots of goodies. I will begin adding coffee grounds.
So Where's the explanation on the "ELECTROCULTURE" in the video then? The young guy you said wont say name of is Matt Roeski, channel is "cultivateelivate", I've seen his video and tried his method along with countless others and proved it to be true! I think you're trying to just knock him ! HUH 😮😮😊😊
Good morning Nate. Love your videos. You know you can also utilize fish to make fish sauce by putting your raw fish in a glass container with salt and let it ferment for 2 years. Happy gardening 😊
It's what i do with what is left from the rats and mice my cats catch and eat... ;) A little spray with EM-1 before covering back with soil won't hurt anything... And yes, imhe, better wait 3 weeks to a month before planting anything...
Hey Nate. What would you bury if you did not have any fish and you were a vegan like me? We have millions of grasshoppers here in Texas this year. How about several handfuls of dead grasshoppers? LOL
😇not one of my favorites. tis make-work stuff - too many things going for the busy gardener, particularly when earlier videos covers making fish fertilizer. there has to be a video that puts it all together. then gardens would be quite a joy...blessings to all
Wonder if I can use comfrey or alfalfa pellets instead of fish? I'll have every bear on this mountain sniffing the air, digging around looking for the fish! I'm hesistant to use any animal products. Input would be appreciated.
I have ducks chickens turkeys so I have plenty eggs and we fish so good there and I have several restaurants and gas station to get there coffee grounds and Chinese restaurants for crab leggs,
hey nate! i have coons and foxes that would dig up that fish....do you not have them?....a coon dug up a chicken manured potato bed the other day...didn't eat a thing...just dug it up
Going back and rewatching as I get ready to start seeds and making raised beds as well. I am overrun in rabbits and squirrels here Is there any deterrents for these. I would like to be able to harvest and not feed the wildlife. I have not had such an abundance except for the last 2 years.
We have been burying our fish carcasses and shrimp heads and peels for 4 years now. My dh fishes a lot and we eat fish often. I noticed last year I kept hitting fish bones when I went to put more fish in…my raised beds are full of fish.
Excellent video brother. When I finish my greenhouse this year, I plan to add a small fish pool to grow out some Tilapia during the summertime and then use the nutrient water for my winter greens. When I harvest my fish in the fall time, I will definitely bury the leftover parts, eggs, and coffee grounds, in the garden expansion areas for the following year. Thank you for reminding us about this technique.
fantastic idea my friend I'd be interested to see your progress with the tilapia and the expansion you can always email me pics or post on instagram and use #gardenlikeaviking
Great!!!. Any experience with fish pool, nitrogen/urine that the fish will release into the pool and how too much urine will affect everything in the pool? Good luck.
i would argue that egg is better eaten than used like this, because you use the energy to work on the garden and then poop the egg and poop is good for bacterias
I have a nice planted aquarium which I've had running almost 8 years, the occasional die off of fish and dirty tank water I add to trenches I dig alongside my plants add table scraps from previous meals. I like to add lava rock to give the bacteria extra room to establish. Ty for the tips and wisdom.
definitely make your own fish fertilizer and there's no need to dump it into the hole because its already broken down and will not attract the same tsunami of microorganisms... save it for watering with throughout the growing season
Great method, but.... I plant about 400 plants in my home garden. That would require a LOT of fish and eggs. I buy my organic eggs; zoning doesn't allow chickens. 400+ organic eggs at $9.00 a dozen😮😮😮
This is only for the heavy feeders like a handful of tomato plants or squash… every plant doesn’t get this treatment but composting in place is always an efficient method
Me encantas desde que te descubrí no puedo para de ver lo que haces. Veo uno tras otro de tus videos y me los repito, ya tengo un cuaderno para tomar nota de todas tus valiosas lecciones y no perderlas.
Hi Nate, GREAT video, and thanks for sharing your knowledge! How do you make the soil hospitable for gardening when it's mostly clay-like? (Central TX)
Ha! I was going to ask "what if you don't have access to fish?" and you answered it. When my chickens die for whatever reason I bury them in my garden. Can you also use COOKED chicken bones? Can't wait for spring so I can start to use your ideas.
yes you can use cooked things... its essentially "composting in place"... so make a deep hole and bury essentially anything edible into the hole... its just that fish and eggs work really well together and break down much much faster than other meat and bones
Nate I never go on Facebook, and today I did... There is really nothing like this there on my feeds so I am taking a leap and post your videos there if you agree. I've been off Facebook for a while, but I think now is a good time to share you with all of my best and beautiful family members and friends. Blessings my friend. Hope everyone shares this channel ASAP.
WOW! To make my new Passionfruit bush grow happily, a dear old nursery man told me to bury an ox liver cut up next to the plant. Best thing I ever did for that Passionfruit!
Another brilliant video as always. My pumpkin plants are quite big approx 1 feet and I am ready to put them in ground. After watching this video, I put a fish about 2 feet down. My Concern now is the roots of my plants may reach the fish within a week maybe bit longer before it decomposes. Is that an issue?
Once again Nate, Bang up job on production. Laser accuracy to the talking point of video with no fail instructions. You’re the GOAT of garden RUclipsrs. Thank you brother.
Thank you for the positive energy and feedback my friend I like to stick to the "mission" and keep it high and tight!!

Can you use freshly brewed coffee not the grounds, the liquid to wet your plants?
ah maaan! that soil is ridiculous. thick layer of the finest top soil. im so jelaous. i garden on sand😢
I feel like I’m being taught by Amon Amarth.
I collect kitchen scraps, which include coffee grounds, egg shells, and proteins. Could I do the same thing with that?

Totally awesome process! Thanks for sharing this!
Hey Nate. What would you bury if you did not have any fish and you were a vegan like me? We have millions of grasshoppers here in Texas this year. How about several handfuls of dead grasshoppers? LOL
Native American technique, I love it. I use roadkill 🤫
YES!... roadkill is the ultimate and next year there'll be a video on that!!
Sounds great but too risky for me as we often have fox 🦊 coming to the garden plus my neighbor has 6 cats 🐈! Any alternatives? Thanks 😊

Including the boron/ (borax) that plant pets and people need for strong cell walls. A very little goes a long way. Am I right?
Why not a piece of charcoal along with all of those for providing a shalter in hard days of microbiota
You’re such a great friend to teach us all the best ways to garden 😎 cheers Fl
I have ducks chickens turkeys so I have plenty eggs and we fish so good there and I have several restaurants and gas station to get there coffee grounds and Chinese restaurants for crab leggs,

Love it man! Maybe season with a couple dashes of biochar?
Here in the UK i learned that if we don't put them in deep enough the foxes come along and dig up the whole patch to get to the food.
Gernally roots moves toward sides insted of downward so bury this fish 3 to 4 inch away in side
That's fantastic! I would like to know why you put the fish that deep.

Too late this year. Next year I will plant deeper on top of some fish.
Probably not a good method in bear country

Did I catch a hint of OAG in there? Water it well and watch it grow. Lol
Is it ok to use raw beef/pork/chicken meat?
what do you do if you only do container gardens
QUESTION: If you can't access live fish can you pour a few cups of fish emulsion fertilizer instead?
Making your own would be better, he has a video on it :D
definitely make your own fish fertilizer and there's no need to dump it into the hole because its already broken down and will not attract the same tsunami of microorganisms... save it for watering with throughout the growing season

Hi Nate, GREAT video, and thanks for sharing your knowledge! How do you make the soil hospitable for gardening when it's mostly clay-like? (Central TX)
thats a huge question my friend join use Saturday at 12noon for the Live Q&A and ask this question again and I'll answer it in depth
thanks very much for the info!
Appreciate your knowledge Nate
One question is your 1 gallon the USA measurement to litres or UK. One is 4.5 and the other 3.8 litres
Thank you
here 1 gallon is 3.78 liters
Thanks for sharing bror! ✨🙏💖😁✨
Hi Nate great video👍🏻🤠
Nice when you have dogs. 😅
Ha! I was going to ask "what if you don't have access to fish?" and you answered it. When my chickens die for whatever reason I bury them in my garden. Can you also use COOKED chicken bones? Can't wait for spring so I can start to use your ideas.
yes you can use cooked things... its essentially "composting in place"... so make a deep hole and bury essentially anything edible into the hole... its just that fish and eggs work really well together and break down much much faster than other meat and bones
Nate I never go on Facebook, and today I did... There is really nothing like this there on my feeds so I am taking a leap and post your videos there if you agree. I've been off Facebook for a while, but I think now is a good time to share you with all of my best and beautiful family members and friends. Blessings my friend. Hope everyone shares this channel ASAP.
I appreciate your positive energy and helpfulness my friend thank you!
Nate, luv your stuff but there is a ton of MERCURY in your air and waters from coal plants just down wind from you here in Indiana
I know brother its something we cannot escape here so we have to mitigate the damages as best we can!
I took one look at the haircut and decided I'm out of here
WOW! To make my new Passionfruit bush grow happily, a dear old nursery man told me to bury an ox liver cut up next to the plant. Best thing I ever did for that Passionfruit!
thats a first but it makes sense to me!!
Another brilliant video as always. My pumpkin plants are quite big approx 1 feet and I am ready to put them in ground. After watching this video, I put a fish about 2 feet down. My Concern now is the roots of my plants may reach the fish within a week maybe bit longer before it decomposes. Is that an issue?
have no worries my friend the plant will know exactly what to do and it will love the decomposition activity!!
I'm a tantra teacher, your line... Super charge the hole before planting..... Made me giggle, sorry warped humour. Love Yr channel. Xx
