Brief Answer:
No, not recommended for now

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Please note this is highly not recommended in the first three months after transplant to be exposed to dust or soil as your immune system has not recovered yet...

After three months you will need gloves and a mask to do such task.

I hope you find this helpful. Feel free to ask further.
Regards
