Using Potting Mix and other Garden Products Safely

Welcome to the first of our "short and sweet" episodes where I share my views on a topic that's relevant to gardening, growing food or to help you in the garden.

In this episode I share some tips for safely using potting mix and other garden products, which is important to apply when supporting others in the garden.

Tips for safely using garden products are;

Always wear gloves and a dust mask - participants and the provider
Damp soil mixes prior to use
Refill tubs away from participants
Store potting mix and other products in the shade
Always wear a mask and gloves when opening bags of potting mix, soil , mulch or other products

For more ideas for safety in the garden, have a read of my article https://soiltosupper.com/how-to-stay-safe-in-the-garden/

Gather the steps to complete these fun activities HERE along with extra ideas for creating healthy gardens.
