I wear gloves most of the time, not with tomatoes, and always wear shoes. My feet don't like to be bear! :lol:

I use a pair of gloves that I cut the fingers out of. That way I can grab weeds when needed, yet protect my hands from the thorns of the roses.

I always wear gloves....you can catch some nasty fungus, etc, from organic matter. I wear the rubber garden shoes and cotton footies...same reason.

I almost never wear gloves to weed my vegetable garden. There are usually not many weeds anyhow (unless it rains alot) because I use drip irrigation.

I wear gloves all the time now after learning how parasites and various other critters can enter your body or cause sores by burrying under your skin...yep have never touched dirt since then without gloves.

Mostly, I am gloveless and shoeless. We have fire-ants here and they can be a problem. When I get bitten by fire-ants, I rub household ammonia on the area and that seems to stop the bites from being a problem.
