FAQS: 

What is potting mix?: 

Potting mix, often referred to as potting soil or potting compost, is a medium in which plants, flowers, and vegetables are grown in containers. Unlike garden soil taken directly from the ground, potting mix is specially formulated to ensure good drainage, aeration, and the right texture to support root growth for plants in pots or containers.

Potting mix Legionnaires disease? 

Legionnaires' disease can be contracted through inhaling dust from potting mix and compost containing the Legionella longbeachae bacteria. To reduce the risk while handling potting mix and compost, it's recommended that home gardeners wear a face mask and gloves, and subsequently wash their hands thoroughly. It's essential to take precautions to prevent potential lung infections from these sources.
