     I don't know what potting soil tastes like, but that's how I imagine it 🤣 unfortunately not my cup of tea at all... strangely floral, perfumed and at the same time meaty and umami. Like a caraway roll with cologne water and musty potted plants. Also strangely acidic and alcoholic. Not fun at all, sorry😅
