Now that summer is here, many of us will begin to build our gardens. While we don’t think about it, the garden can be a dangerous place if we don’t exercise our care in our routine. To get the most benefit with the least effort, there are some things you can do in the garden to make your gardening safer and more enjoyable.
The sun is hot, remember to wear a hat in the garden and don’t forget sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun and Avoid that your eyes it can hurt. Remember to apply sunscreen liberally even if it’s a cloudy day. Bad heat can keep you from commanding for a while, and what will your garden do without you?
Rocks are like furniture. Moving heavy things like stones or planting can cause injury. For safety’s sake, remember to use your knees, not your back to lift.
Use caution when working with chemicals – safety is important, avoid dust and rain on windy days and always use facial protection. evening masks to prevent inhalation of harmful particles. Make sure to choose the right pesticide for your garden pest and use the least toxic form. See if you can use a reduced risk product such as insecticidal soaps, boric acid, diatomaceous earth, horticultural oils or lime sulfur fungicides
Dress appropriately. Safety gloves will protect your skin from cuts and contaminated soil. They can also cause you to get allergic-reactions to plants and pests like poison oak and ivy and the occasional bee. If you are a fan of roses, get yourself a pair of puncture resistant gloves to save yourself from the thorns. wear boots and not bulky clothing. Especially goggles to protect your eyes when using strimmers or other cutting tools.
Place your garden tools in an area where you won’t cut yourself on sharp edges. Beware of an improperly positioned garden rake, unlike film, being hit in the face with the handle will injure you.
Make sure the garden tools and equipment you use are in good condition, because a malfunction in garden tools can cause serious injury. Use ladders, brooms, and heavy sectioning machines safely and carefully.
When mowing never stand in front of or next to the lawnmower. Choose all the rocks and stones before you start.
We never leave a child unaccompanied. Remove them from areas treated with pesticides and make sure you don’t leave without dangerous equipment. Keep all tools and equipment out of the way.
Keep all the care from the garden area while they are doing the work. chemicals could be exposed or surrounding equipment lying around the garden could be damaged. They can also be a distraction while trying to hack the device.
Many garden centers supply sell knee pads. This option is convenient if you will spend a lot of time digging. It protects you from the hard and cold ground.
Take a break. Do not spend too much time in the sun and heat. Let them cool; a take a glass of ice water. Don’t do it.
Planting is both fun and medicinal. Enjoy your garden safely and enjoy!
