Copy the professionals for jobs which need finesse - invest in a big box of surgical gloves in your size. They are very cheap and you do not even notice you are wearing them once you start pricking out or weeding cactus plants, whatever. Do not disrespect the power of plants to wound or infect. They have evolved defences over millions of years to defeat predators and we are only novices in fighting them. I am not being overfussy as I have seen some of the tragedies caused by careless gardening.

i also use household rubber gloves as these give a snug fit...
I use household gloves to do certain jobs,I find the medical gloves you can buy tear really easy especially near roses .
