I’m willing to bet the soil is very fertile with all the biomass beneath the surface. Not trying to be uncouth, but what better natural fertilizer is there?
Neuer St. Jacobi Friedhof is a unique place where vegetables are grown on the ground and in wooden boxes, and where several activities for children and the neighbourhood take place in a space where burial areas alternate with wild natural areas that cannot be used for construction to ensure the protection of species of plants and animals.
I wonder how the families of the deceased feel about this.
