RE: Midweek Growers Conversation - Win Hive!
When I first took up gardening, I was quite appalled by the insects and worms in the soil. But one adapts! In any case, I don’t work as effectively with gloves, and aren’t there health benefits to getting your hands dirty?

I'm not so squeamish with worms now. I don't mind them so much as I know they're good for the soil, I just flick some soil over them so I don't see them. In most cases they squiggle back down themselves pretty quick anyway.
I adore worms. I love finding big fat ones and having a little chat with them in the palm of my hand. Incredible creatures.

Well I wouldn't be havin' an auld chat with them like Ms. River, but I no longer feel the urge to chop them in half like I used to:)

I read once that guy health started at the fingertips, which touch the soil and I loved that idea ... In a very scientific way, we SHOULD be connected to the earth!
