Today I wanted to give one of my potted plants a bigger pot and some new soil but at the supermarket they were out of pot-plant-soil. On the way to the supermarket I took a walk over the cemetary next to where I live and in the woods outside the cemetary I saw that they had a big pile of black soil, among some other stuff for gardening. As I actually really dislike planting and such things, but now had set my mind on doing it I would not let myself be stopped by the supermarket running out of stock, so I just walked back the same way and filled the new pot with some of the soil from the heap in the woods.
I know this is perfecly normal soil, but on the way back I could not help thinking about that it comes from the cemetary and could theoretically contain "remains" of humans (as I suppose any soil could!) and in this case Small Town People. The thought was rather scary and I started imagining up the scenario for a scary movie about plants coming to live and attacking... (any one remembers the Triffids??)
Good thing I did not use the soil for the plants I keep indoors, but only for the one at the balcony...
