Mulch and fish

Kev helped me the other day to put mulch - what was left from David's foray into the wonderful world of mowing the lawn (not something he has had a lot of practice doing) -around all our plants. I remember Kev throwing vegetable and fruit scraps into the soil as well as the usual grass clippings. But, I read an online article and Little House said that you can also use all those leftover tea bags and coffee filters. Kev said that if we bury the carcasses of all the fish that died in our pond (we think it may have been a lack of oxygen in the water and many of our goldfish passed on in the past two days) that the plants would shoot up.

I'll try to remember to recycle our tea bags, coffee filters, and food scraps, but I'm really not relishing burying all those dead fish in the garden.
