Covering the Vine
Here I use my right hand which has a very basic “Brown Jersey Landscaping/Material Handling/General Construction” glove that I use to push the soil over the vine. I wear the glove only on this hand as this does the actual soil contact and it helps keep my hand a little cleaner.
Again, as in my previous post my ungloved left hand is used for the detail work (pinching, pruning, applying rooting hormone) and my gloved right hand is used for the bulk soil moving and more general tasks. I got this idea from an American (Maine) Lobster which has a pincher claw for detail work and a crusher claw for the more difficult tasks.
However, I do run into a lot of worn out right hand gloves and brand new left hand gloves at the end of the season;-)
