HOw deep hole to keep foxes out?How deep would a hole have to be to keep the foxes from digging the contents up?
I've had this (possibly crazy) idea of bury my placenta in the veg patch. But I really don't want them eating it! The nutrients are supposed to be good for the plants.
(No - I'm not going to eat it myself - I'm a vegetarian and although it won't be from a dead animal, the thought of eating something that looks like, well is, meat is horrible!)

Um, To be honest I wouldn't do it!

I think planting any meat under a veg patch to decompose is not a good idea. The smell, flies, etc would be a little distracting when you are having mother and baby moments. Equally, our history of burying human remains six feet down is probably for a reason.

hmm - well if it has to be six feet, I think we can forget it. Now I want to be active afterwards to get my figure back, but not that active! I think I'll tell the midwife to get rid of it!

In the good old days you'd pop off down to the butchers and get a wheelbarrow full of waste amd throw it on the compost heap. Oh the days of throwing bamboo canes at swollen entrails making sure that someone else got covered in the spray. It's the way you got fish and blood into the soil and was believed to really enrich the soil
But these days I think it's illegal (certainly within farming it is).
