Eat dirt!

Here's a handy tip:

When you're pulling up sod, make sure to keep your mouth closed. Make your grimaces and grunts through closed lips, lest you find yourself with a mouth full of dirt.

You learn something new every day.

And now I'm off to brush my teeth...

Ah, such good advice. It is also a good idea to close your mouth while shoveling a whole truckload of compost (my project today). And tilling, well, forget it -- you can keep your mouth closed but it will get in *anyway*.

Remember, a little dirt never hurt anyone...

A-ha, thank-you for the advice. You were my inspiration to start working on my front yard so these warnings are much appreciated :-)
