Bug free wellies.

I'll lay bets that it's happened to every gardener at some time or another - you pull on your wellies to feel that telltale wriggling and jiggling of the biggest spider known to man that's taken up residence in the toe end of one of them!!!!!
Avoid this nightmare by simply covering your wellies with a pair of tights after taking them of.

** Please ensure that you don't, however, take the brand new, expensive ones that your wife has been saving for that big night out - remember - the one you promised to take her on in 2004!!!!

As you may have gathered by now the gardening tips I'm posting here are not your run-of-the-mill ones!!! I've collected lots of them from gardening friends, neighbours and allotmenteers and some I've invented for myself through trial and error. Others are a bit tongue-in-cheek in parts but as an organic gardener I've, honestly, found them invaluable. I'll leave it up to you to decide for yourselves.
If nothing else they may make you smile and brighten your day!!!

Uuuhh I'm squirming in my seat here Eileen. {shiver}

I'm picturing a pair of wellies covered with tights. It would look like someone spontaneously combusted in them lol :)

These tips are great though, really practical stuff.
