Help for Seed Starter Hands
Save your skin from that red, raw, chapped look and the abrasions that can result when you spend lots of time with your hands in soil-based potting mixes. Before you dive into the seed-sowing season, buy yourself a box of thin surgical gloves.
Surgical gloves will protect your hands and wrists from the unpleasant aftereffects of otherwise enjoyable tasks like seed sowing and transplanting. And unlike heavy garden gloves, they're specially designed to give your fingers a no-slip grip—even when they're wet. They're also great for keeping your hands clean when you're doing other messy jobs like spreading fertilizer. When your work is done, rinse the gloves if you plan to use them again.
