Backyard Odor/Large Slates
I am renting a "somewhat" converted store front that has a backyard with a 21 x 20 ft "garden." The dirt was covered in two layers of black plastic, and topped with about a foot or so of gravel. I dug it all up (not. fun.) and then deciede to make a small path of gravel and circle of gravel for my lawn furniture, so that i could eventually plant all around it. The dirt SMELLS a lot. I'm a little freaked out about digging in it since I heard Italina mafioso guys used to use this place as a men's lounge. And then I started to hit slabs of stone, about a foot or so wide and 2 or 3 inches thick. they are pretty much lined up, and point towards this old drainage that I found, that was also built out of the slabs of stone. Any idea if the smell is from the possibility that the slabs are covering a pipe? Any suggestions whatsoever about the smell and why I'd find slabs down there???

The back yard odor is probably cats spraying. Finding old blue stone slabs is quite common. Consider yourself lucky. These days they are expensive. The plastic was to stop the weeds from growing through the gravel.
