To: small voice in the wilderness
Anybody ever to been to Korea knows: last thing these people need is fertilizer. Whole country reeks of it. Mix its aroma with that of with Kim-Chee, which is well rotted cabbage and other mysterious ingredients derived from scaly creatures. Bury it for two or three (hundred) years, and voilá, all of Korea has a signature fragrance which will bring a tear to the eye and cannot be removed from clothing.

Polite term is "Night Soil."

RE #10

I did not know that tree barks produce all that. Never heard of using Kim Chee as fertilizers. Too expensive. Must have been a long time ago.

If they'll let me know where to go, I'd like to add my small contribution...
