How do savvy gardeners protect their hands while working on their plots: a brilliant method

01.06.2023 10:17

The summer cottage season has long since begun, which means that work in the garden and vegetable garden is in full swing.

Our delicate hands suffer the most from hard work, and calluses appear on them immediately.

For this reason, if you are going to dig up the beds, prepare holes for seedlings, rake up last year's leaves or dig a hole for a seedling, do not forget about such an important and necessary accessory as gloves.

But what to do if you don’t have a pair of “mittens” at hand or if you find a huge hole in one of the gloves?

There is no need to despair, nor to start working without hand protection.

Instead, head to the kitchen cabinet where you keep your cling film.

Wrap it around the handle of a shovel, rake, or any other tool you plan to use to prepare the soil.

Thanks to this simple action, it will be possible to reduce the sliding of the skin on the surface, and the hands will be protected from the appearance of blisters and possible splinters.
