Gardening gloves, which ones to choose

Gardening gloves

It may not be what we first think of when we begin our first gardening work but without a doubt they will have to be taken into account sooner or later taking into account how useful they are when handling the earth and plants. We are talking about gloves, those little allies of every gardener.

Whether it's to avoid splinters, to avoid getting dirty, or to protect yourself from scratches, it's time to talk about gardening gloves for like this which to choose.

There are several options although the initial premise is that be comfortable and that is why you must try them before you buy. That they are not too lazy so that you can then handle the tools comfortably; also not too tight so that they are not uncomfortable.

Once you have passed this first instance, you can choose longer or shorter gloves. The former are ideal for keeping plants with thorns as they will protect you from them. Although they are a bit more expensive than the standard ones, they are worth considering if you have rose bushes.

Regarding the material, avoid rubber gloves They have not been designed for gardening so they can easily get holes and affect your hands. The ideal gloves for the garden are those made of cotton, especially those that have rubber dots on the fingertips and palm of the hand. These will allow you to better manipulate the tools and prevent them or the plants and branches from slipping. On the other hand, this texture will allow the gloves to remain firm in your hands.

Never use disposable gloves because with them you will not be protected. These gloves break easily and will not protect your hands from potential hazards.
