To keep soil from getting under your nails (even while wearing gloves), put Vaseline under the nail part. Then everything just washes away.

But before nailing somebody that way, I thought you put the Valvoline outside the protection...... 8<)

hey slippy, i have another question for ya. i am having a terrible problem with fungus in my wood chips. have you ever seen that? to be indelicate about it, it looks like some animal went and barfed all over the the flower beds. when it first starts it is orangish-yellowish and kind of wet. it hardens to a black/brown hard consistency. i asked at the garden center and they told me that it comes from spores that develop in the wood even before it is chipped, has nothing to do with being cheap wood versus expensive, and that the only thing to do is dig it out, bag it up and throw it out. He also said you can put sulphur on it. I am sick to death of this, because it is spreading like mad, and i am digging it up every evening and find new patches of it the next AM. Of course, the guy said the worst possible thing to do was to spray it with a hose. so what did i have xsboy do before i found out what it was...? you got it.
