| Michelle, Thanks. A lot of have said forever that gardening keeps us sane - now we have science behind us :) It's stopped raining this morning, maybe I'll be able to get outside and get my dose of soil bacteria. I'm just wondering if I actually have to eat dirt, or if I'll absorb the bacteria through my knees as I crawl around weeding. |
