Like other potting and propagation mixes, it contains micro-organisms. Wear gloves, keep the mix moist while handling, avoid breathing in dust, and wash your hands immediately after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I reuse seed raising mix?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh mix is recommended for each sowing, as used mix can carry pests or diseases from previous plants.
