Warning

Content: Place the fish waste at least a foot below the soil to discourage wildlife and pets from digging it up and try to avoid disturbing the root system. Feed sensitive and hot weather seedlings, such as tomatoes and peppers, with a teaspoon of undiluted fish emulsion when you transplant them. Bury a dead aquarium fish in a houseplant instead of flushing it down the toilet. Make sure the plant is out of reach of other house pets. Compost fish waste in an outdoor compost heap by burying the fish at least two feet deep in the compost pile. However, you can not disturb the fish waste, so this option is not for compost heaps that require regular aeration. This method works well for a small amount of fish waste. For larger amounts, turn the fish waste into a liquid fish emulsion. ( see Section I)
