This has come up before. It is not rotting vegetation. It is construction debris in a dump. It's why one of the golf courses off Morse south of 466A has no homes built along it--there is a construction trash dump on the other side. Do a search on here, and you will find threads and posts. Drywall, for one, smells like rotting garbage as it disintegrates. There have been times when you could smell it from Colony all the way down to Pine Ridge.

It's not a "get over it" issue. And it's not fertilizer, milorganite, or anything being put on the golf courses... nothing has been put on the golf courses since Irma, and the smell is pretty bad right now.
