If you're worried about getting infections or anything from Sphag, then you should be worried about getting the same from any mixture used in gardening. So, of course, common safety sense is all that's needed. When in the garden, _always_ wear gloves, a shirt, a hat, sunscreen, a mouth-mask (just a simple filter one is fine) and goggles...all of these things can help you become more safe in much than just one way... Just add a full body condom and I'm there. . . Seriously, I don't wear gloves or any other protective gear when I pot with sphagnum and I'm not particularly concerned about it. I am, however, curious to know if others do practice "safe potting". deg LOL....very quaint... I agree. I rarely use protective equipment when gardening, except for gloves. I also use gloves. Always...althgough I don't use them for Sphag, but mostly because I rarely handle it, it cleans off your hands easily, and requires deft fingers to manouvre it around... I've never had a problem, but I thought I should just say all of the above before people start getting soooooo worried. It's like everything in this society nowadays. Everyone's so afraid of germs, and often someone'll say something bad about one little thing, and it'll get blown out of proportion. I could see that happenning with the big Sphagnum Moss Controversy of 2003. -- 'You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,' said Aslan. 'And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.' http://spiltink.alphalink.com.au http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/f...r_aod_bugs.txt - Now with 33 bugs! |
