    I'm assuming this is another WUM

  • Don't know why.....it's quite feasible. Before powdered fertilizer, it was common to bury rotting fish to enrich the soil.

    Thread bumped back up for a new poster who asked about roses, Bekkie coudn't do it on her phone.

    Yvie, Lunaria is being serious he/ she has posted quite a few times and isn't a WUM.

    I think after some recent posts we are all a tad jittery.

    Lunaria we don't get much road kill here, what we get I pot roast ...joking of course.

    You can assume what you like. Just though you rose growers would be interested in my friends secret to good roses. It's essential what bone meal is. There not piled high with bodies or anything. We get lots of stray cats were we are. We think people are dumping them in the country. We find them dead on the road. She loves cats so would bury them in her memorial garden. The Roses improved. So now she scoops up the odd rabbit as well.

    ..that's quite interesting Lunaria and if you don't mind that sort of thing, then it's a good way of disposing of the bodies....  I wouldn't care for it in my garden though, personally...

    ...chopped up lawn turves placed at the base of the planting hole,... does pretty good in my experience....and I can live with that...

    There's only a hamster in buried my garden. It's not had much effect on plant growth.image

    ...when we moved in to this property, we found a large container with a Clematis in it... a neighbour told us the previous owner buried her dead cat in the bottom.... I had to get rid of it pronto....  another neighbour took it....fortunately...

    The Clematis or the the container Salino   image Don't think I would have liked a graveyard Clematis imageNext door have ornaments around their garden where they have buried pets.,, dead ones I must add.

    I'll stick to a packet of Fish Blood and Bone, no dead bodies in my garden thanks.

    ...the whole lot KEF... clematis, pot and cat...lol...

    ..perhaps we shouldn't be so prudish...when you consider that so many people plant roses and other little plants around their loved one's graves...I sometimes see this in old graveyards.... 

    ...maybe not quite the same thing...
