The Crucial ? Of Garden Gloves

As temps;gravitate upward and it's grand to be outside , the conversation inevitably turns to garden gloves. Rather question of why you can't buy a pair that will last a month. If you have longer nails, hey may not even last a hard day's planting and transplanting.

New, in nurseries and garden departments they are irresistibly cute—in, pink, purple, yellow and green, decorated with flowers, watering cans and spades—but a couple good days work and you'll have holes at the nail tips.

This winter my brother left a pair ugly gray “Pit Crew” ones here, but they have already lasted longer than the cuties.Yesterday, I was in an automotive store and noticed a pair the same latex design that allows you to handle root balls without ruining a manicure.

They are called “Pit Crew” and the cardboard tag they were suspended from says “Battery Change Gloves.” Bright green and white. They were no more expensive than the highly designed ones, but I warrant they will last, and I will be making fewer contributions to the landfill.

Always the question about a product for a critical eye!
