This is pretty funny. Go to the website and read the question and answers regarding odor. I have used road apples aka horse dung, in my garden for many years and after a day or two, there is no odor, not that there was much to start with. With this said, I believe this medium is more appropriate for out doors or green houses.

Well I can tell you that I brought a big plastic bag of fresh horse dung the day before yesterday to our balcony and there is NO odour whatsoever. Plus I already put some of it in one pot that is indoors with a sphagnum top dressing and it is completely odourless, so don't you worry.

BTW, there is a "memorial" site for Nic with ALL the information: Nic van den Bosch's Home Page

Manure is great for nitrogen, but not a great deal more, and is quite variable.

I am NOT putting feces in my greenhouse, and certainly not going to bring a nice, flowering plant in it into my home. You guys are nuts.

I don't think would be the best way to grow for me either. But to each their own.
