of plants and poultry

Popped by NTUC yesterday after lunch to buy a toothbrush. Ended up chancing upon stuff that I've wanted to buy for a few weeks but can't seem to find readily.

Hehe, I bought organic fertiliser and rooting powder! :)

Silly me thought that organic fertiliser was just something more natural compared to chemical fertilisers but it didn't occur to me that it would actually be.............................................

processed poultry manure.

Yeah, the organic fertiliser I bought was actually chicken shit.

And I only just discovered it a day later i.e. tonight. I cut open the packet just now and was immediately hit by an overpowering smell...One whiff and I went "oh shit."

Ya, "oh shit" as in both metaphorically and literally.

I didn't dare put too much on my pot of mint. The instructions said 1 tablespoon to a 10cm pot. My mint is in an 18cm pot and I think I only dared to put half a teaspoon of the stuff onto the pot hahahaha. That's about as much smell as I can tahan.

I hope the smell dissipates by the time my mum wakes up tomorrow and steps into the balcony lol.
