Interesting that it smelled but didn't taste like strawberries. Great tasting!
Just had that earthy sour note when turning over a pitchfork full of grassy ruminant manure. Definitely a good thing!
Wow. Goat manure! Haven't seen that in a review before! Did you mean to add "but in a good way" or was that an intentional omission? Your review paints a vivid picture with an economy of words!
