The disposable kind . What do people use ? Powdered latex , non powdered vinyl , etc ? I was going to try powdered latex for my next box but not sure they will be strong enough . |

Just food for thought here... Why do you need throw away disposable gloves? What's wrong with a pair of ordinary lightweight gardening gloves if you want to protect your hands? |

My sympathies about the split fingers, I have them too but I find that a soft pair of gardening gloves makes all the difference. The ones I use are fabric with a rubbery surface on the palm and inside fingers. |

Yes i have that type too for general use . I use the disposable ones for repotting and muddy stuff . I guess because i had them to hand because of my work . |

I use Vinyl or Nitrile as both are synthetic and tend to be kinder on hands. Try to get powder free if your hands are prone to damage, the powder is an irritant to some people |

I tend to fiddle with my trees between other tasks and found the dirt under my nails and ingrained in my skin was unsightly and made marks on papers etc. Scrubbing does not always work. Then there's juniper spines. |

Am I the only one who likes the way juniper needles tingle? Never felt the need for bonsai gloves, but my hands have never had dry skin either. |
