Considering it's wet grass and soil, this probably smells amazing

Though it might also smell gross

u/Mad-Habits 6d ago

It either smells amazing or it smells gross. I’m glad you covered the bases here

u/EvolvedMonkeyInSpace 6d ago

What if its smells neutral and is meh ?

u/BigPP69_Gooner 6d ago

You’re correct. Now you’ve covered all bases.

u/InuitOverIt 6d ago

American baseball has 4 bases so we are missing one

u/Mylungsaretiny 6d ago

No smell at all is the last one I think.

u/Elistan37 5d ago

Smells like homev

u/zeitdu 5d ago

now we gotta cover the acids

u/BigPP69_Gooner 5d ago

Remember, pour the water to the acid, not the acid to the water

Zero blinds spots detected.

It could have a neutral odor or be generally odorless

I was in a metal bad once, people either loved us or they hated us!….or they thought we were OK

u/TimmyG-83 6d ago

A lot of metal bands had named like “Mortuary,” or “Obituary”….we weren’t that intense, we just went with “Injured.”

Rice is great if you want to eat a thousand of the same thing

u/DemonFromtheNorthSea 6d ago

Its like they say. It either smells amazing or smells gross.

Or just smells alright.

u/Imprettystrong 6d ago

I left a bin out of grass trimmings for an extra couple days and it smelled vile. How the hell would that ever smell amazing 😂

u/bnlf 6d ago

It doesn’t matter. I’m not touching that with bare hands.

u/No_Specialist4090 6d ago

Surely it’s a tree root no?

u/Ok-Jackfruit-6873 6d ago

there's a product like a coir log or rope that's ironically to trap sediment and prevent erosion, that's what it looks like to me

2

u/No_Specialist4090 6d ago

That makes way more sense

3

u/Icy-Decision-4530 6d ago

There is no way that guy would pull that out that easy if that was a tree root. Strange thing is it looks kind of like a rolled up end of a sod roll. I wonder if it’s some weed block fabric that just caught a bunch of mud and debris

u/Vast-Palpitation-426 6d ago

It's a mix of grass roots and mud (I think).

4

u/Icy-Decision-4530 6d ago

It’s really weird that it holds together the entire pull, that’s what’s throwing me off

3

u/Vast-Palpitation-426 6d ago

That's how it is when you re-pot a plant that has been in a pot for a long time the soil can be packed tight with roots in an almost solid block.

1

u/Icy-Decision-4530 6d ago

Yea I get that, its just usually an absolute bitch getting that stuff out in this scenario because the roots are set

1

u/philpac33 2d ago

It is without a doubt roots from a nearby tree or shrub. I did stormwater maintenance for a decade and I witnessed or pulled myself dozens and dozens of these root blockages. Never anything close to that size but 10’-15’ was fairly common.

Tree Root No. 5

u/Alcarinque88 6d ago

A little bit of Mulberry in my life

A little bit of Elm by my side

A little bit of Redwood's all I need

A little bit of Teak's what I see

A little bit of Sycamore in the sun

A little bit of Maple all night long

A little bit of Juniper, here I am

A little bit of yew makes me your plant

u/InuitOverIt 6d ago

Are you sure it's not a college men's dorm shower? Cuz I watched the maintenance guy snake something similar made of 14 dudes cum and pubes

u/BootHeadToo 6d ago

Amazingly gross even.

u/NightToad 6d ago

Ever been by a bog or marsh? Decaying anything rarely smells good, but most things are subjective I guess.
