hello,

we live in the Southwest US and recently we re-lanscaped our yard into a xeriscape with decomposed granite and gravel as surface coverings. I have found that, especially around the gravel areas, that weeds will still grow (sometimes they find the cracks between the weed barrier and sometimes they just somehow live off rocks lol)… For weeding work I have been using gloves that are similar to this at Lowes:

they claim that the fingertips are reinforced, but the tips of my gloves get trashed after 60-90 minutes of work. I can’t afford to keep buying gloves at close to $30 a pop lol. I mean I know that gloves are not and cannot be BIFL but they ought to last longer than one work session? Do you all have any good recommendations for work gloves that will involve digging through gravel with my fingers?
