Chicago Tribune contributor Barbara Mahany’s report, “Gardening is dirty work, here’s how to come clean” was featured in the July 26, 2008 edition of Myrtle Beach Online (South Carolina) Home & Garden section. The article features confessions and advice by gardeners who just can’t resist diggin’ in the the dirt. One piece of advise on how to stay clean comes from horticulturalist, Jennifer Brennan, at Chalet Nursery. She suggests slathering her hands with petroleum jelly or goopy lotion, “You have to use so much you think you’re using way too much,” says Brennan. “Rub it in your cuticles, so you seal the cellular walls, and then the dirt can’t get in.”
