compost piles are full of mold, be careful >>

Thanks! You are correct and that's why we have face masks, goggles, and

need to wear them. I do whenever I work with my compost pile and really dig

in my dirt. Have something covering my hair, wear gloves, long sleeves, etc.

When I'm done I take my clothes off outside (no one can see me) and wash

everything later. I'm thinking about buying some of the inexpensive tyvek

coveralls....take a look at tell me what you think:

This might also work for you when you visit your parents. Disposable and

inexpensive. Have been looking for them and just found this website. I've

seen them in home depot however they cost much more. In fact, I will order

some today because that would solve me problem of not contaminating my

washer and save a lot of money with electricity, water and my expensive

non-toxic detergent. Anyone else have a better source? I think I'll post a

special email about this to get others suggestions.

Lol I'm an herbalist--we are trained prevention is better and easier to

accomplish than trying to cure a disease!.
