i have always gone to the asian market
and buy that huge bundle of inexpensive
incense. i burn it all the time. when guests
are coming, i lite one about an hour before arrival.
it is very soft and easy. nothing like turning
customers away from a stinking lousy studio.

During the recent heavy rains, & floods), we had 75mm,
(3" to you lot), of water come onto to the dry laid
brick workshop floor. A lot of leaf litter came with
it. After the water drained fungus grew, thumb sized
grey & white lumps, palm sized sulphur yellow liquid
blobs that looked like vomit. The workshop smelled like
a teen's sneakers!
We watered the entire area down with a pine/eucalyptus
disinfectant & had constant incense burning.
Eventual sweet (no)smell of success.
