I've got a social ocassion coming up in a few motnhs when my hands
really should not scream "Gardener!!!!!!"

Does anyone have any ideas for hand care/rejuvination? I do wear
gloves but the hands still get ingrained dirt and look foul.

Put a barrier cream on BEFORE you start gardening. This keeps the worst of
the dirt from penetrating.


This triggered my memory and I had a little hunt around 'chaos corner' in
the greenhouse! Some time ago I bought from our local country
store/feed/bulb merchant, a can of stuff called 'Working Hands'. it is
absolutely excellent as a barrier cream and is stiff with lanolin, too.
