Our lawn has a lot of weeds, and I've finally gotten serious about pulling them all up by the roots! It's going really well (albeit slowly), but I'm running into a problem: I am weeding with my bare hands, as it really helps me find and pull out the roots of the weeds.... but my fingernails are getting brutalized by all this underground searching for weed roots!

Obviously I need gloves, but how can you weed without bare hands?! In any case, thought I'd ask the expert gardeners out there: what gloves do you use when gardening and/or weeding? And if you don't use gloves, what is your secret??
