REThe post showcases a traditional organic method of burying whole fish in garden trenches to decompose and release nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, enriching soil for strawberry planting, a technique historically used by Native American coastal tribes and taught to early European settlers.
The 16-second video depicts a shirtless gardener digging rows in raised beds, layering fish (likely mackerel), covering with soil, watering, and mulching with wood chips, resulting in vigorous young strawberry plants amid a lush backyard setting.
Studies, such as those in the Journal of Cleaner Production, confirm fish-based fertilizers enhance plant yields and soil microbial health over some manures, though they risk attracting wildlife if not buried deeply enough, as noted in user replies.
