Question regarding transplanting tomatoes

[phorbin]

I was trying out a smart-ass reformulation of "Teach a man to fish...".

IIRC you are correct, though my recollection goes back 40mumble something+ years to grade school history.

My dad would save the bones and then burn them. I have a protected pile which vultures visit. What goes around comes around.

Cool. :-) We have lots of turkey vultures around here. Beautiful birds that do a very necessary job.

Mainly what I do is dig out all the soil of my tomato bed down about 2 feet (yes, I don't rotate my crops), put the soil out on my concrete patio, I sprinkle a little 5-10-5 or similar and mix it all up with a generous pile of my homemade compost and refill the trench. Been getting bumper crops consistently.

:Perhaps. I've buried lots of rotting chicken parts in my garden & have had :zero problems. Maybe I just have a cast iron stomach. :-) : :Robert in the hills of Tennessee

The soil is a good place to decompose things. I don't have a shredder and put some fairly coarse things in my compost pile and if they haven't decomposed by planting time I just work them into the ground regardless. By next season they have decomposed and can't be found, consumed by soil organisms and my plants.
