That fragrant smell.... normal?

OK guys-- when I water my SFG in the morning, I have to tell you: it smells like a farm field freshly spread with manure. I can smell it clean across the yard. Some of the compost I used for my Mel's mix was bagged composted cow manure bought at Farm and Fleet. About 50% of it was from my own backyard composting operation. About 15% of it was bagged mushroom compost from my local landscape center. The rest was bagged manure. Of course with the requisite additions of peat and vermiculite for the rest.

Should I be worried that it smells so..... poopy? Or is that normal? Sorry if this is a total newbie question.
