I'm not sure what difference you are hoping this makes, but this is not a reasonable way to get nutrients into your system. Try planting them next to the ROOTS of a BIGGER FRUITING PLANT in your garden. Also, try putting these biodegrading materials further from other plants. Pay attention to how the roots move towards the decaying matter over time. Notice how little critters get in there and eat away. Notice the swelling or puffing of gasses building up and notice the smells. Notice the cluster of bacteria oozing decomposed nutrients into your water column. Notice the bacteria, fungus, and other microflora and microfauna you cannot see with the naked despite your ability to detect them other ways.

HAVE FUN AND ENJOY
