dcterms.descriptionHere s another way to clear your field and get rid of old, deserted termite hills (the ones with holes the closed ones are still alive and working). As well as indicating the firmness of soil for building and being an impermeable liner for dams and ponds, the dust is an alternative to soap, reports Professor Anil G. Gupta from Ahmedabad, India, through the Centre for Alternative Agricultural Media. The fine texture removes all types of dirt from the skin, doesn t destroy its natural oils and works well as a moisturiser. Unlike soap, it doesn t pollute the grey water. A small pellet of soil is enough for one bathing. Make a paste of it with water, apply directly to the skin and wash off normally.en
