Having come off the plot and forgotten to use one's gardening gloves ... what does anyone use to get their hands clean

... have this problem of going to meetings with grubby paws ... not quite the thing me thinks !!

an olive oil and granulated sugar mix with a splodge of lemon juice if you've got any

Always have lemon juice ... its the granulated sugar that is sometimes missing !!!

... thanks Del

could you substitute salt

Thanks you two, will try it....

Olive oil and course salt. They sell it at the ideal home exhibition for shed loads. Bung some smelly oil in it and charge £10 a pot

keep an ordinary bar of soap at the plot and drag your nails across it before you start
(stops dirt from getting behind your nails )

Having used the scouring mixture I will have to be very careful about treating what's left of my skin !!! It's a bit paper thin!!

Rhubarb leaf before you leave the plot - best tip I ever had - works a treat

I used to use margarine and sugar when I was a fitter, always worked a treat. Not very happy about some one saying use salt, would make you squeel with any cuts.

salt is excellent and does the job but can be a bit harsh, sugar is deffo the preferred option
