Growroom attire for multiple gardens? bugs!

[nlr433]

Hello all,
I'm a newer grower that is bouncing between 3 different gardens every day. I try to change clothes in-between, but sometimes, my schedule wont allow it. I'm also battling mites (slowly winning) and I feel like I maybe transporting them with me, from garden to garden.

I've looked into clean suits, and booties. But I'm imagining them being semi uncomfortable for more than a few min in the heat. I also have a beard, and though I hate to bring this into the equation.... they maybe finding temporary shelter there when I'm working deeper in the plants.


Any advice on this?

Change your clothes and shower if possible before entering grow room.

Tyvek suits and booties, and since you have a beard, get one of those beard covers, too. In between, freeze the suits and all else. This will prevent spread of mites, though I cannot say how efficacious it is in preventing spread of other pests or disease (the freezing bit). I know it works well for spider mites.

Yes, they're hot, but just wear underwear under them. They're also good for applying more caustic stuff like OxiDate.

Another alternative is to keep a set of gardening clothes at each site, and use those clothes only at that site, and keep your beard and head covered.
