Soapy fingernails.




Category: Gardening tips. | Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2006 2:43 am

If you are, like me, one of those gardeners who doesn't like to wear gloves when gardening then you'll be able to relate to, what I call, 'grubby nail syndrome'.

After a day in the garden I can spend an eternity scrubbing the embedded soil from deep under my nails. However, nowadays what I do is: - before going out into the garden I run my nails firmly over the surface of a cheap bar of soap. When I come in to wash my hands at the end of the day the soap under my nails is easily removed and along with it all the dirt!!!

I'm a no glove gardener too. I always get teased here for this little habit. Good to know I'm not alone! I've tried the soap & it does work, now all I need to do is remember!
