Over the last 14 years we have put many bags of peat into the existing front border so I want to re-use this high quality soil for the planter.
The plants that were there all had to go - two were temporarilly relocated to the back garden the rest sadly have gone to "high heavens " the local amenity town recycling centre
Stink to high heaven
Meaning: | To have a very strong odor. |
Example: | There's a road kill on 101 that stinks to high heaven. |
Origin: | Heaven as referenced in the bible is presumably quite a long distance away, and anything here that could be smelled in heaven would be a powerful odor indeed. Shakespeare may have originated the phrase (or at least made it famous) in "Hamlet" when Hamlet's uncle, the king of Denmark says: "O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven; It hath the primal eldest curse upon it, A brother's murder." Heavens also refers to the planets and stars. Also a fair distance away. It's interesting that Shakespeare's reference was not an actually an odor , but a deed that was observable from heaven. |
