It is. Tetanus and other nasty germs thrive in more or less all kinds
of soil and manure.

and smell ok. Manure (made from live hay, via a live horse) smells a

This is wrong. You are talking about the fresh doodahs. If you ferment
the doodahs you get something akin to compost, and almost without a
smell. I use this stuff indoors on my limes, and nobody has complained
about any smell yet. They have said the taste is "fuller" than the
shopbought limes. I haven't had the heart to tell them why.

People _do_ think it is an interesting experience to be able to pick a
lime off the wall in the living room and put a slice directly into the
gin&tonic. Running a 250w HID light for the orchids during the day has
a couple of pleasant side effects.
