I'm in the Upper Midwest. The weather can be all over the board here in the summer. Usually in the 70's - 80's in June when the cauliflower is growing. It cam be humid or not so humid, temps getting into the 90's or higher at times. Last year was a little dry, this year was beautiful. The...

I understand what you're saying, and I'll even say you're right. But - after it's been in my garden, along with the worms and other micro organisms and insects, I can't smell it. Nor can I see it. Just like I can't see the "doo doo" of the worms, insects and other life out there. I can wipe that...
