There has been a couple of treads recently on people getting rashes while out gardening, I was reading this months Professional Gardener (The newsletter from PGG) and there was an article on Legionnaires disease. In 2013 Potting compost was believed to be the source of contamination with 12 cases reported in Scotland. The Growing media industry concluded that there was a low incidence of it occurring but recommended that warning labels should be on bags to promote good hygiene. In 2007 in New Zealand a number of workers in the horticulture industry were admitted to hospital having contracted the disease through aerosolized potting mix.This was all news to me thought some of you might be interested. There is another article here if you're interested in reading it.

That is very "Sergeant Esterhaus" ish of you Greengage!
That should test your memory. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want. I dug the rocks out of it with my bare hands and I made a living thing of it!”

Ahhhh not a clever clogs but then again it isn't garden related.
"Be careful out there" is what the sergeant said at the beginning of every programme after roll call in Hill Street Blues. A classic tv series and winner of many awards and the basis of many similar programmes. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want.

Great series, brings back happy memories of my kids tucked up in bed, adult time with a grown-up TV programme. |

It's one I wish they'd bring back on "Gold". There are scenes I can still remember after all these years. |

Was Belker the small in stature, possibly of Hispanic origin, mad hair and possibly certifiable mad one? May look him up. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it.
