extreme garbage makes for some extreme gardening...

This post is not for queasy stomachs...
Not that it's that bad, although I'm not sure what my frame of reference is anymore....?
In the last week garbage in the sun and shade garden included: several used condoms and their packages, a big dead rat, a big poo and a needle. Not your average gardens! Although our experience is similar to other gardens in the DTES and maybe even tamer at that! One day at the Folk Garden on Hastings we were doing the pre-gardening clean-up. I looked at the boot of the man picking up sharps and there must have been 20 of them within a 2 foot radius of his feet.
