Can't wait till Smithsonian's soil exhibit comes to Los Angeles to hopefully replace Body Worlds(not my cup of tea,lol.) Sorry couldn't make it to your monthly shindig but was bit under the weather. Continuing to enjoy the intelligencia & Justin's cool propaganda & site.Cheers, David in San Gabriel Valley, California USA Thanks Anais & Jordanne for the cool links & info of intriguing dirt AKA soil.

Commercial farming takes and takes from soil, merely adding artificial chemical inputs...thus poisioning and eroding soils, which then finds its way into places like the Gulf of Mexico, where large dead zones and algea blooms form. This is a catastrophe. But nurturing and working with soil organically, and adding lots of organic matter, breaths life into exisitng soils. There's so much to this subject...and I'm glad Smithsonian is helping enlighten the masses. Make compost...enrich soil organically...reclaim your soils!
