Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum
I hope there are many gardeners among us doodle owners. After all we must be nurturers. We can share information on what's safe for dogs, how to keep them from destroying plantings and all green related things.

Oh I don't know F Parker. It's not a rational fear...I'm just a worrier. I don't pull weeds so I think gloveless will be fine.
Pinworms are around but unlikely in your planters.
Hookworms are down south only I think. So what parasitic worms?
I wear gloves to keep the dirt from getting under my fingernails; they're also good when pulling weeds, because some of them are very prickly.
Worms are good!!
Well then I guess I'll go gloveless unless I'm gonna be treating it like bread dough and really working in there lots. It IS fun to play with dirt once I get over my 'what if there are worms, giardia, toxoplasmosis, or worse in this dirt? :-D
Adina here is another link, love this site:

RJ: Regarding turning the soil. These are raised-way-off-the-ground flower beds that are part of the porch. I don't think there is any connection between the dirt in the flower beds and the dirt in the soil below. So turning it is not a big deal .. it's pretty loose.
