I have a classmate who is a famous professor these days, that
45 years ago used to lecture us city dwellers that the smell of
natural fertilizer spread in the fiedls of the Kibbutz was the
best smell in the world.
He never convinced me, but there might still be a need.

In my youth, we often went to visit my Nan who lived waaaay out in the countryside. I hated going to the countryside. Everything smelled of shit.
Just thought I'd share that. |

A number of years ago I took advantage of the City's compost distribution program, and picked up about half a yard of compost. It smelled like human excrement. I put it into a lidded container for a week and the smell went away. |

in no way did you explain how you would bring this
about. I think a lot of the chemical fertilizers smell
much worse than natural ones. |

I must admit though, in the spring when this local
farm puts the manure on the cornfield, its almost
hard to drive by there for a week! So still I dont
understand how your product works! |

How about a different smell that would attract people instead of
repelling them? Fresh peaches, for example, have a delightful aroma,
and perhaps most importantly they don't smell like shit. |

Shit is loverley. Mmmm breathe deep. It clears out your passerges sure it do. |

I think my idea hit the fan. |

If it's any consolation the smell of grain silage transports me instantly back to the age of three when I first smelled it. |

There is a mint farm I drive by sometimes. At the right time
of year, the mint farmers harvest all the mint and the by-
product of this is a parking-lot-sized mound of mint clippings
and soil. It's fertilizer, but it smells like mint. It smells like
mint for miles around. |

No doubt some beardie-weirdie ecofascist will complain about the air being polluted by the smell ... |
