Have you ever gardened while barefoot? Why do people like to garden in bare feet?

[Amanda V]

I hear a lot of people like doing this. I'm just trying to understand the appeal.

i like the feel of loose dirt between my toes and specially when it has been raining.

I hear it can be a very intimate experience with the earth, like the sensation you get when sand slips between your toes or when you run barefoot on the grass. It is refreshing, a new sensation, and for some it makes them feel closer to "mother earth" (those who believe in that).
