Next year I'm definitely doing heads under all of my plants.
CBLouie- I have EBs also. There is not much support on the EB forum for adding compost as most claim it turns the growing medium to mud and messes with the wicking action. Also, since EBs dont use dirt but sterile growing medium, I dont understand how the fish head nutrients get broken down to become available to the growing plant. Please continue to share your results. Linda
