Pond Gloves
While in the UK and visiting the Chelsea Flower Show, I discovered
something that I have been looking for unsuccessfully for a while. Long gloves to use in the spring when bringing up the plants I sent on the bottom of the pond the previous fall. I have been using a set of industrial gloves that are fairly long but wanted a longer pair. At the Chelsea flower show they had lots of "pond gloves" which sold for from $5 to $20. I normally wear a 32" shirt sleeve and these gloves cover my entire arm. A google search for "pond gloves" turned up a number of sources. The ones I got a http://www.worldofwater.com/gloves.htm and http://www.gardening-emporium.co.uk/...products_id=47 and http://www.bradshawsdirect.co.uk/Bra...t/product.asp? prod=CSGL&cookie%5Ftest=1 I haven't used any of them yet. -- Pardon my spam deterrent; send email to 18,000 gallon (17'x 47'x 2-4') lily pond garden in Zone 6 Cheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA USA |

Prior to them though I found the way to beat cold water was to have a bucket of warm water next to the pond. Do some work, soak in the warm bucket for a bit, and do some more work. ~ jan ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ |

I saw them being sold in a fisherman supply stores. They also sell neat
things like rubber aprons, those hardy latex and mesh gloves and other sorts of neat water proof wear.

After trying long plastic disposable gloves, I decided to give up on staying dry. My DW found me a pair that look like wet-suit gloves -- you go ahead and get wet, but the water in them quickly warms to body temp and keeps your fingers from freezing. I also wear my ancient "grubby" winter jacket, and hip waders. That generally keeps me adequately warm, even in ice water. Of course, at the moment that's not even remotely a concern ;-). -- Kizhe |
