"We get the opportunity to fertilise the lawns, and at the same time it will stink.''
Chicken manure is being used in a Swedish town to keep people away from its main park.
Officials in Lund are spreading the droppings on the grass to stop people picnicking on what's usually an annual celebration welcoming the summer.
They're hoping it'll also fertilise the lawns while they're not being used.
"Lund could very well become an epicentre for the spread of the coronavirus on the last night in April," the chairman of the local council's environment committee, Gustav Lundblad, told the Sydsvenskan newspaper.
Defending the decision to spread a ton of chicken manure in the park, he said: "We get the opportunity to fertilise the lawns, and at the same time it will stink and so it may not be so nice to sit and drink beer."
