In the shadowy world of greenhouse work comes a hero who hates breathing perlite dust! That's right!!!
Greenhouse Man!!!
"Ah you think the greenhouse is your ally?, You merely read about it, I was sweating in it!" That's the Bane voice in my head!
That's right folks, we got another pallet of perlite in and it's time to load another 4 rows of buckets. In case you have never worked with dry perlite, it is dusty and also considered a lung irritant, not to mention the warning labels on the bag that advise against breathing in the dust for fear of causing silicosis!
So here I am in a 90+ degree greenhouse with high humidity and wearing a respirator that my sweat is pooling into, I feel like I'm about to suffocate! But I am my own boss, LOL.
So 33 bags of this stuff into the next four rows and then it's planting time!
Looks like i'm in for a fun day!
Ya'll stay cool, because I know I won't.
very cool post this is :)
Thanks
Happy planting :)
Two and a half hours in that hot box if far from my happy place! LOL

Love it! I too use batos and have had the not so great experience of getting a lung full of perlite. My greenhouse is a bit smaller but I'm hoping to build a more impressive one in the next year or so.
The Biggest I've gotten is is about 500 plants a couple seasons ago.
