On the outskirts of Sydney, there's a cemetery that's running out of room to bury the lately-local folk 'green' enough to prefer to rot away slowly rather than go out in a blaze of cremated air pollution. So now the cemetery wants to annex neighbouring traditional Chinese market gardens which have been there for more than a century. The market gardeners don't want to go – but then, I guess, neither did the people the cemetery wants to plant in place of the cabbages and bok choy.
Okay. Surely I'm not the only person who can see how both of these land uses needn't be all that incompatible with each other, y'know?
"We're not only saving on
fertilizer, we're also getting
more body in our produce."
The part of this that I like most is that the local council is moving to rezone the gardens from their current 'residential' status to 'small lot rural', which would preclude people from, um, 'inhabiting' the area.
