Thank you, Brooks:)
I'll do that then. The fishy scraps. How long
should I allow the fish to decompose in the
compost before I use it for my container garden?
And, LOL, thank you for the confirmation. I would
like to try Dan's plant frequency CDs. I've heard
good things about the results.

Dear Annie,
I believe your opportunity to obtain fresh fish scraps/offal to be
absolutely PRICELESS. You have the opportunity to make a compost
superior to ANYTHING you can purchase on the commercial market.
As a matter of fact, I am told that Mr. Carlson does, indeed, use a kelp
component in his Sonic Bloom protocol.
Sincerely, Brooks.

Oh my!
About the fishy stuff for the garden. I was
considering going down to the docks to ask for
fish scraps since I don't live very far from where
the fishing boats come in. And we have a huge
fresh seafood place right next to the docks. If I
get the fish scraps and put them in a barrel with
some soil and let them decompose. Would the
resultant soil make a decent adjunct to the kelp
for my veggie garden?
I've wondered if it is kelp that Dan Carlson uses
in his Sonic Bloom foliar spray mixture?
