| My daughter has saved her son's placenta (currently in my freezer!) and coming up now to his 3rd birthday she would like to plant it under a special shrub and was considering a rose bush - either in the ground or in a large pot. I know it is perhaps an odd question but does anyone have any idea whether this would affect the growth of the rose, whether perhaps it might not be a good idea (gardening wise) and whether in a tub or direct in the ground would be preferable. Her other choice of plant was some sort of citrus so maybe similar issues re soil nutrients.
Thank you for any advice or suggestions |

| Good Lord No, though I once planted a duck what died and planted it under a rose and the plant didn't show any ill affect. |

| Does "Good Lord No" mean it will harm a plant or is it just a comment upon her wish to do this? It was actually a horticultural not a cultural question!! |

| It means, IndigoD. that I, and probably most of my (aging) generation, would never consider placing the placenta from the birth of any of our children in a freezer and then one day some years later wondering whether to bury it under a rose bush or not - perhaps I'm 'old fashioned! Horticulturally it will do the plant no harm, might in fact, provide some nutriment |

| Is it my computer? The last message I can see here was mine, posted June 1, and yet when I look at the index board the last posted is June 4! Why can't I get the latest messages? B |
