Some people use gloves for gardening, but I like the soil in my hands. But I have a bucket at hand, filled with water. It´s the garden bucket and has many uses. I leave it out always so, when it rains, I can use that water for my seedlings in containers. After gardening, it is true that soil has hardened a bit under the fingernails. I have also a brush among my garden tools and clean my hands in that bucket. Garden tools in my case include a lot that weren´t meant to be that. I have an old knife and a spoon from the kitchen. They are wonderful helps to transplant. I also have an old small painting brush to help me clean my cactii.

Nothing easier than that the man takes a bath, fills it in warm water, it softened the hands of one only, and then cleans the fingernails with a brush. In no case shall the man to use soap around the earth under the fingernails to get away. If the nails and hands are clean, he leaves the cold water in the tub with the water to be poured and then his plants. So the garden soil is BAck again in the garden.

with a nail brush, the one used on the spot, (So please insert before working in the garden!) this is achieved both ecologically and economically - But until then, when at least 10 minutes shook hands in the air, it dries the valuable garden soil under the nails. Then shake skirt and pants. Do not forget to put a board under the shoes.
