About this episode

The episode explores the contrast between human cleanliness and the natural odors of the environment, focusing on the role of mulch in agriculture.

Humankind has risen far above the nasty marshes and bubbling swamps of our natural beginnings. We have created order and society and cleanliness. And pleasant smells. Nature, on the other hand, is smelly. Our own bodies disgust us with their odors. So we made fragrant soaps and deodorants and eau de toilette. We created Time-Release-air-Fresheners and Bubblegum Vapes. But we still need our crops to grow and so we need fields covered in cow dung. So when we don’t like natural odors, but we want to decorate our parks in nature, we need to bring something natural and fertilizing into our pristine neighborhoods. Let’s dig a little deeper, with Mat and Veronique, as we break down the rotting decay of fresh Mulch! *Grumbles are specifically off-the-cuff, no research went into this grumble. _____________________________________ Support the show and become a Grumble Kid!
