planting and the idea has been<br />
around for centuries.<br />
And marigolds are probably the<br />
most famous companion plant<br />

and their roots also contain a<br />
pesticidal chemical which ki ls<br />

living in the soil).<br />
Marigolds are said to deter<br />
aphids from tomatoes and roses,<br />
and nematodes from potatoes and<br />

They’re also said to keep<br />

SPRING IS a time when it’s<br />
desirable to be working is the<br />
garden.<br />
However, there are hidden<br />
dangers and one of those is<br />
developing legionnaires’ disease.<br />
Here are some guidelines to<br />
avoid that happening<br />
•Minimise the amount of dust<br />
present when working in the<br />
garden.<br />
• Water gardens and indoor<br />
plants using a gentle spray.<br />
• Read the warning label on<br />
bagged composts or po ting mix.<br />
• Wear gloves.<br />
• Wear a mask so that any dust<br />
is filtered out before you can<br />
breathe it in.<br />
• Dampen po ting mixes before<br />
• Open bags of soil products<br />
slowly, away from the face.<br />
• Make sure the working area<br />
(for example, the gla shouse or<br />
po ting shed) is we l ventilated.<br />
• See a doctor if you develop a<br />
flu-like i lne s that seems to be<br />
worsening.<br />
• Wash hands thoroughly<br />
after gardening or handling soil<br />
products.<br />
These are simple, easy and<br />
natural steps that a l gardeners<br />
can take to reduce risk while<br />
continuing to enjoy their garden.<br />
