HAHA yeah i am the same way. I not only love getting all deep and dirty. nothing better than having to use your hair to get packed dirt out of your fingernails. playing in worm bins is more than fun. its like being god of an entire little ecosystem. IDK i love it.
Yeah i feel ya. although my back has healed itself! well no, but with streching daily and being barefoot on earth as much as possible. there are some crazy real anti inflammatory effects which come from being GROunded directly to earths natural electrical charge. something to look into for anybody with back/joint pain. ive been barefoot for almost 8 months now. although im pretty sad about winter and boots and shit. OR there are some crazy side by sides down with 100's of house plants, flowers, cuttings one being grounded one not. ant the grounded plants DO amazing. the one that i saw that blew my mind was two bouquet of flowers. one with the little food packet and one with a electrode that was grounded outside. those flowers stayed healthy and alive for i think 3 extra days. crazy shit. wonder what it could do for cannibus indoors.
You know a good majority of hydro store owners that ive met all just sell that shit, and grow organic. weird.
