    Use surgical gloves (buy in two box bundles at Costco) under garden gloves (get them by the 6 or 10 pkt at Costco also). Much easier on the hands. Didn’t used to, but can’t live without them in our wet soil. Beats having dried, cracked bleeding fingers or cuts from broken glass scattered about in the beds.

    Just found that the gloves I use for Nettle pulling are two right hand ones. I must have thrown away the left when we packed up to move.

    Chuckle @Logan. In our household, we call that "getting carried away". My daughter thinks I get carried away on lots of things, mainly projects. Don't tell her I said this, but she might be right.

    Well out side I use Garden gloves until hubby gets his paws on them, then they're ruined :crying: but for my plants I use these which I also use in the home from Amazon.

    Wot de eh-ow!??
    How is that possible?
    I can see floral remnants on those gloves...Did you go for 'pretty' instead of durable? Cackle.

    No, but that really is a disgrace. What kind of product is that. I would be temped to return to the shop where you bought them and ask for either a refund or a different pair... and just pay the difference.
