Does anyone use these for THORN protection in the garden?

We have not used for thorn protection as we bought them for using in the pond and don't want holes in them. We use leather gloves for thorn protection. I have seen elbow length leather gloves for that specific purpose, but personally have found that long sleeves and wrist length leather gloves are sufficient until they wear out or seams come unstitched.

I wouldn't use these gloves for the garden, thorns can penetrate into the glove. Leather garden gloves are good for working around rose bushes.

I use them for protection from cactus needles and stinging nettle. I don't know if thorns are any worse than those.

The glove is not made for thorn protection. It is only made for strong chemicals that may otherwise burn you severely.

Carole,These did not work for us in outdoor pots, and we followed the instructions carefully. For what I read, they appeared to have worked for others. Perhaps it would depend on how much humidity would be in the atmosphere.. Sorry I could not be more help.. Irene

I bought the very small ones. They most definitely strong enough to possibly plant herbs in. Strawberries need much more soil to grow. However, I would plant herbs in them.

I would think so. I bought them because at my age anything that even touches my forearms brings blood. I have a lot of landscaping trimming bushes etc and so far not a scratch. I have a bougenvilla that has thousands of tiny needle thorns on it-they do not protect from those. I live in the Houston TX area and they are very hot to wear in this hot & humid climate but worth it. I hope this helps

I've only used them 1) in ground, or 2) in a planter. The planter-contained rose was fine. But I don't have an answer specific as to potted roses. Sorry!

These are excellent gloves for use with our wood stove and fire pit. Can't say if they would work for your purpose, but I have used them as garden gloves when pulling out pricker bushes and trimming holly bushes and remained unscratched.

It fit perfectly and I just love them. However, they do not protect you from heavy thorns of really spiny weeds. Great for roses, though, and brambles. Good luck. I have small hands, too. 7 1/2 is just about right.

I got pricked and scratched using these gloves. I had to deal with my roses like I had no gloves on because these gloves DO NOT protect against thorns. I bought them because of all the positives reviews I read. I am glad they seem to work great for everybody. I am returning mine back to Amazon tomorrow.I bought a really great pair at Lowes that truly worked. I brought a rose to Lowes and tried on their gloves and reluctantly grabbed a hold of the branch thinking I am going to get pricked and nothing! I didn't feel a thing. I am so happy to finally have a great pair of gloves that indeed protect. I got pricked and scratched using these gloves.

Yes, I only used it for potted plants and it did a great job protecting them. If it is windy outside, you do need to make sure you secure it properly.

I did, about a week later. Bought an orchid clay pot, Oncidium soil mix and orchid plant spikes. All are sold a Home Depot. My orchid is still going strong. Lots of new growth.

I started out 3 yrs ago with 3 small/3" stems and put them in dirt. They are inside in a very sunny window. They do not like to be overwatered. Once every 3 weeks seems good. Spring seems to be a slow growth period. I gave cut my long limbs/8" and repotted. A few died. They are tricky. When healthy the produce small red flowers. I enjoy all the succulents but crown of thorns is not easy

Yes they do. You can use a succulent plant spray every month with watering. 17-8-22 is what I use. Good Luck, If you get into this I have a lot of babies to share.

Yes, I have been using them in both plants and herbs indoor. They work very well. I tend to to be "heavy handed" in the amount sometimes but it doesn't seem to hurt the plants or herbs. I just don't place the spikes right at the stems of the plants.

Yes they would. They stand up to alot . I do gardens for others and these are the first that keep your hands pretty clean and do not tear.
