What kinds of gardening gloves do you use?

AuntG — Sun, 16 Feb 2014 22:33:17 GMT

When Spring finally does come, I need to do some trimming around our front porch. The problem is that we have barberry bushes and even with gloves on, they stick into my skin. Could anyone suggest a gardening glove that will protect my hands?

Yes, try looking for rose gloves that come beyond the wrist and are mid forearm. I received a pair of leather gloves from Womenswork for Christmas. I haven't used them yet.

My old pair of rose gloves have some tears at the finger tips from when I was a little aggressive with the hand clipper.

I bought these over the winter. I havent tried them yet but the reviews are good. Costco had similar ones last week.

I have only roses (and weeds) so i hope these work.

When I do basic gardening (weeding, transplanting) I wear the gloves from Home Depot that they sell in the shovel sectio. They have a rubberized base and fingers. I go through maybe 10 pairs during a season. When they get muddy, I toss them so it does not ruin my nails. These are inexpensive gloves!

I also have a Barberry bush that I like. When I trim this one or my knockout roses, I wear (men's) heavy leather gloves that last forever. I think I bought them in a 2 or 3 pack at Sam's several years ago. I have used the basic gloves, but always get a thorn stick at least once.

I bought a pair many years ago from the Q that were make specifically for a woman's hands. They are still wearable but they are no longer on the Q for some odd reason because they were best sellers and I haven't seen them anymore. The hand portion had nonslip dots, you could pick up a dime with them, they were fitted to your hand and they're washable. They really fit the bill but I don't know how many more seasons I will get out of them.

I like gauntlet-style gloves. The leather ones are the most expensive, man-made materials are cheaper. I use just about every kind of glove made. Use them up and toss them when they are shot. I think it's important to use gloves.

I use Rubbermain rubber gloves to the elbow. I've given up on the others.

I use the heavier cotton gloves and sometimes two pairs when I am trimming my roses.

I always wear leather gloves. Deerskin are nice, too.

The roses usually grab my arms, though. I'd need a leather space suit.

The only thing I worry about is dirt under my fingernails, so I just wear the thin one use medical gloves. I'm a complete wuss.

Check out Mud Gloves. They have a variety of styles and will have just what you need for not being pricked by bushes and shrubs when pruning. As a gardener I have several gloves I use for different tasks, and they are all Mud Gloves.

WALMART has some great gloves. They are latex coated and protect your hands from thorny barberry bushes. The ones I purchased last year were manufactured by MIDWEST and are identified as GRIPPING.

They are very inexpensive and I found them hidden way back in the gardening center with the fertilizer and plants, not with the expensive ones out front.

I use Mud gloves for planting annuals when I have those 4 or 6 pack seedlings. They are great because they are close to your hands or fingers to push the seedlings into the soil (not oversized at all).

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I finally decided to go with Mud Gloves from Amazon, because I read a review in which the person used them to trim barberry bushes and that is exactly how I will use them.
