Tips on allergy-proof your garden Get the red itchy eyes and runny nose again? Breasts clogged? Estornudar all the time? Perhaps it is those horrible allergies. Pollen is the cause of the plants and some are worse than others about the spread of things around. Here are some tips for allergy-proof your yard and allergy-smart gardening.
* The very bright flowering plants cause less problems with allergies, since they depend on insects to transfer pollen.
* The plants that rely on wind to spread pollen produce large amounts of pollen.
* The rain helps wash the pollen from the air, but also generates mold, mildew and weeds. If you are allergic to mold, avoiding the garden after a good rain.
* Keep your garden weed and keep the grass cut short.
* Wear a mask when gardening or doing lawn work.
* Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants and wash them when finished.
