mark williams 7,558 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Too much in the freezer, road kill, etc, etc. ? Here`s a planter with last years strawberry runners planted over a dead rabbit, - I got 12 lbs of strawberries from this one tub. The best bone/ blood feed on earth. I`m also planting this years strawberry runners over some rabbit/ pigeon plus a new young head of Rhubarb over two rabbits and root hormone An old farmer gave me this tip years ago, - the results can be outstanding and I got a good few certificates from the allotments for this little trick. All planted today . 3 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 That's a good idea - I wouldn't have even thought of doing that but, it does make sense 2 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Great images and idea... but jeeezzz... your gonna get the tree huggers riled up with this. We get it in the arse for shooting pests for the table, but your using them as plantfood Marko. The creator of a New strain of carnivore strooobs 3 Quote Link to post
just-A-snap 1,269 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 That is fine Rez, they can eat their organic food that is grown next to the motorway and think that the air on any organic farm is pure a a baby's bottom. Makes one think though, no dead things on organic farms. Time to move house one thinks.all the very best 1 Quote Link to post
philpot 5,005 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Well I NEVER thought of that Mark............................hell of a good idea but I think either my cats or one of the many foxes in our village would mess things up a bit AND my youngest daughter would kill me........................................................................I love it mate. Nice one. Phil 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,485 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 What a waste of good meat the rabbits guts would do the same job Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 To be honest... as a rabbit, id rather be shot and turned into a big fat strawberry... than be shot and turned into a big fat poo Happy rabbits them Marko. 2 Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,558 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Nothing wasted, nothing disrespected, all put back into a very healthy food chain - the old fashioned ways are usually the best. Use all the rabbit, pigeon etc as the bone meal is a major part of good plant growth, just guts grows nothing. atb Mark 1 Quote Link to post

The one 8,485 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I can remember taking a trench out for peas dumping all the rabbit guts in it putting paper on top then the soil and planting we had a great crop . A bit of spare soil would be handy for disposing of hides, feet and skulls there was a bit about a local stalker taking his remains to the dump and the poly bag burst after he left they had him on cctv and posters do you know this poacher ? burying it would help there 1 Quote Link to post
Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I've done similar with fish heads, guts and frames, particularly herrings when i used to make my own rollmops. Works a treat. 1 Quote Link to post
