Much sympathy to you! We are so blessed to have these dear ones share our lives.

Mining for coal is much safer nowadays. Most of the mines around here are surface mines, which are much safer. The Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration heavily patrols and regulates all area mines. This is still a thriving industry and provides many jobs for people in this area. Coal is also a less expensive energy source.

If I were you I would get in touch with a local nursery or grower for advice.
