An elderly man's use of chicken manure to fertilise his corridor garden has left neighbours recoiling at the pungent odour.One neighbour, who wanted to remain anonymous, was concerned over the hygiene of the situation.A reporter, who visited the block on July 22, saw several styrofoam boxes filled with herbs and vegetables lining the corridor. A strong, foul smell filled the air.
"There may be a smell at first but it dissipates quickly,” said Mr Chen. “I maintain the cleanliness of my ‘garden’ and it does not pose any hygiene problems.” Another neighbour, who also requested anonymity, said the stench became more noticeable over the past three months. He now resorts to keeping the windows closed whenever the smell intensifies.
