Notes

When making your own seed raising mix or when using commercially made mixes, always wear a mask to avoid inhaling any unwanted particles.
Also, work outdoors in an open area to help minimise the risk of inhalation. Thoroughly wash hands after using any of these products.
Wearing gloves is also a good option to help prevent exposure to any unwanted bacteria.
