TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 week agoYup. Fully agree. About 15 years ago I kept my horse over summer in a small paddock in EBrunswick down by the creek. The council made me keep a covered skip for the horse manure, which was fair enough I reckon. I loaded it up every day as per council regulations, but NEVER had to empty it, as the contents would mysteriously vanish overnight and boxes of tomatoes and other garden vegetables would miraculously appear in my horse’s shelter shed. A sort of black economy of horse manure/vegies, all without one word being said. I kinda miss that.

@TheWitchofThornbury there's always one zucchini that you don't see until it's the size of a small nuclear submarine.

Did you see the news article a few years ago where this happened to a gardener in Germany - but an aerial photographer (too early for drones) saw it and called in the bomb squad cos they thought it was unexploded munition from WW2. Lots of egg on face all round when the bomb squad arrived to deactivate it.
