Good idea about the diaper rash cream. I might get some cotton gloves to wear at night but even those I'd probably end up discarding.
I do have two pairs of Nitrile gloves; they're okay. I have a heavier pair for rougher work. I do wear them sometimes, but they are not the answer I seek! :)
Most garden supply catalogs seem to carry some version of "Farmer's Hand Saver" or the like (I made that up) but I don't want to buy something based on advertising; would rather gather some wisdom here first.
I'll give the diaper rash cream a try. Anyone else?
