Does all POTTING mix packs have warning labels about legionairres?,, can i buy safe potting mix?

Question

ive noticed packs of potting mix [here in australia] have a warning labout about the risks of inhailing particles and handling potting mix, im sure the disease is legionaires what u can get

im a playgroup leader and i want to prepare an activity to make grassheads [stocking filled with grass seeds and potting mix, knotted up and kids make a face on it]

i hear u can make them out of sawdust instead of potting mix but there are no saw mills in my suburb so i dont know where to get sawdust from

if i prepared the heads at home and take the heads ready and all the kids have to do is stick eyes.. ect ect..on, will that be safe?,, i dont want to risk anyone getting ill but id love to do this activity as the kids will love them

or can u buy sawdust from somewhere local not a sawmill?

thankyou xxxxxxxxxxx

Answer 1

Pet shop sells it here. People use it with reptiles & some small rodents.

Or just dig the dirt out of a patch of garden. That's SUPER easy and cheaper.
