The Buttress

“

This modest nursery grows ornamental herbs and flowers to decorate the chambers of free citizens. An unbearable stench arises from the various planters, the sallow earth enriched with rotting food and nightsoil. Still, the compost's effectiveness is undeniable: one would never guess such a desolate world could produce such vibrant blooms.

Additional Information

"Nightsoil is a historical euphemism for human excreta collected from cesspools, privies, pail closets, pit latrines, privy middens, septic tanks, etc. This material was removed from the immediate area, usually at night, by workers employed in this trade. Sometimes it could be transported out of towns and sold on as a fertilizer." - Wikipedia
