Men’s Bamboo Gardening Gloves

November 7th, 2008 . by chris

It’s important to protect your hands while working in the lawn or garden. You certainly don’t want any harm to come to them, and the less you can get stuck with things (roots, thorns, etc) or get your hands really dirty, the better off you are. There is an easy solution for both problems. Made from possibly the most rapidly renewable source on the planet, the Men’s Bamboo Nitrile Gardening Gloves are an excellent way to get lawn and garden work done – from heavy duty work to just some simple pruning and shearing.

These gloves are cooler than cotton or polyester and are very breathable. There’s also a nitrile coated layer that gives a lot of gripping power to the gardener as well. The gloves will not retain mold as will cotton gloves, so you can be sure that they will last for a long time. Environmentally friendly and extra durable, these are an excellent addition to your lawn and garden tools.

Pole Pruners

Uses:

  • Pruning hard to reach branches and stems

Pole pruners usually include a typical anvil or bypass pruner to slice through branches or stems that are out of reach, plus a pruning saw. These tools are handy, but make sure you aren’t stretching too much to reach the branch. If you can barely reach where you want to cut, try using a ladder to get closer so that you can make a cleaner cut.

Garden Loppers

December 15th, 2006 . by lars

If you have trees and shrubs in your landscaping, you should consider purchasing some pruning tools.  These tools will help you to prune and shape your trees and shrubs.  For example, garden loppers are used for:

  • Thinning out trees and shrubs
  • Cutting thick branches
  • Pruning

Loppers are basically designed like garden pruner, but with a larger diameter cutting blade to cut large branches, and a longer handle.  The longer handle will give you more leverage when cutting.  Many gardeners recommend bypass loppers over anvil loppers as they generally cut cleaner.
