dirt

Ryan Crownholm doesn’t play in the dirt. He trades it.

His new service matches people who need dirt to those who want to remove it from their property. DirtMatch.com offers a simple solution to a problem that large construction companies often have – finding a place to dump good soil.

A recent press release states that DirtMatch.com is “committed to the environment, with a green mission to recycle instead of waste. Rather than taking any extra soil to a landfill, our mission is to get it to someone who needs it.”

Do you remember being told to wash your veggies before you ate them? Well, I’ll let you in on a dirty secret. If they are grown organically in uncontaminated soil free of harsh chemicals, you might not have to wash them before you feast. Why, you ask? Because eating a dirty diet could be beneficial. The dirt on your veggies may contain healthy soil-based bacteria, which is linked to easing digestive problems and regulating our immune systems.
