I've Got a Jar of Dirt! I've Got a Jar of Dirt!

Today, along with the normal everyday items that I absurdly overpay for, I paid ten dollars for a jar of dirt. That's right, I paid ten dollars for dirt, at Tractor Supply no less. You see, when was at Farm Sanctuary, I learned that diatomaceous earth is supposedly good for getting rid of parasites; fleas, mites, lice, etc. Since all of my animals seem to have fleas (and incidentally happen to sleep in my bed. Gross!) and I am vehemently opposed to using chemicals on them I decided to give it a try. We'll see what happens. I must say, I'm pretty sure whoever came up with the idea of selling jars of dirt is probably having a really good laugh right now.
