I bought Gardening Gloves and Bulb Planting Snail because I had a pair of Gardening Gloves of this type for about five years and they were worn out, so when I saw Landing Snail with Gloves, I was glad to get both. I wanted this type of planting snail for planting tulip and iris bulbs next spring. We are moving to a new house and I want to put in a lot of lightbulbs, it will make our life easier. We're in a new state so I can't borrow my neighbor's borer to plant onions like I used to. It's great to have one of your own.
