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?

15 commentsI'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.
Urghhh!! I still can't bring myself to touch them, or any animals. I find it really odd to touch a living object that's not a human behaviour, that's why I'm not keen on pets.
I do say good morning to my plants every morning 😄
I like using the big fat ones for fish bait.
That's murder:)
Lol! Here they suck little sand prawns from the low tide sand for bait. The worms are left alone.
When I said I adapted, I didn't mean going as far as to touch the little feckers. No, I lift them to safety with a trowel, and not a word passes between us.
I had to laugh. Here's me all like well 'ard not using gloves and yesterday got bit by something...
Thank goodness for antisan.
Crikey, that looks sore! I used to be bitten by everything and his mother, but then I discovered homeopathy!
Whatever works for you! The bumps are still there this morning but they have faded and aren't so sore. Jamie went straight to 'i hope it wasn't a redback' which was conceivable I suppose but ... Off to google 'what happens if you get bitten by a redback'
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:)
One has to grow up eventually...
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!
