Worst thing found in my garden
So I’ve been guerilla gardening about 4 years in Brooklyn NY. The pits I work in have come a long way from a dirt strip to a vibrant wildflower paradise. But they still attract their share of garbage. Usually food packaging, beer bottles, dog poop, car parts, drug paraphernalia, or personal items dumped from the purses and bags of addicts. I even got stuck by a drug needle back in year one which was pretty dramatic. Today when I was cleaning my pits the four drug needles I saw were top of mind and not what appeared to be a mild smattering of typical trash. I approached a small plant pot or bucket without much of a conscious thought. I was thinking maybe the rain had caught some liquid in a discarded plant pot, or maybe it was some kind of left behind soup. As I poured the liquid out, the most unholy odor punched me in the nose. It was an infernal melange of old urine and diarrhea. The smell instantly infected the air and hung there haunting the location like a ghost. Even as I was walking away from it and down the block a civilian turned around suspiciously as if she felt stalked by this ghoulish substance. None of my IRL guerilla gardening friends probably want to hear this story without a trigger warning. So happily sharing it with my virtual buddies here on Reddit! Cheers 💩 💦 ⚠️☣️
