As an avid gardener, I’ve learned that a day in the garden can come with a little bit of everything. Mosquito bites. Bee stings. Poison ivy. Squash rash. Dirt-covered hands. Grass stains. You name it, I’ve probably dealt with it!
I love spending time in my garden, but after a long day of digging, planting, harvesting, and doing fall yard work, I like having a few go-to products nearby. These are the things I reach for to clean up, soothe irritated skin, and make spending time outdoors a little more comfortable.
No-Bite-Me™: Because Bugs Are Not Invited
The last thing I want to worry about after spending the day in the garden is mosquito bites and ticks. I keep No-Bite-Me™ nearby to help keep those pesky bugs away while I’m outside enjoying my garden. Whether I’m pulling weeds, harvesting vegetables, or just puttering around outside, it’s one less thing I want to think about.
Because I’d much rather be thinking about what’s ready to harvest than what’s crawling around on me!
Poison Ivy Soap: A Little Extra Peace of Mind
There’s only so much you can do to avoid poison ivy when you’re working in the garden or doing fall yard work.After a day outside, I like to wash up with Poison Ivy Soap. It’s made to help soothe itchy, irritated skin if I’ve come in contact with something I shouldn’t have.
Even when I’m not sure what I brushed up against, having it nearby gives me a little extra peace of mind after a day of digging, planting, and yard work.
Hogwash: When Regular Soap Just Doesn’t Cut It
Sometimes the dirt is just really stuck. That’s when I reach for Hogwash. It’s great for scrubbing away tough grass and garden stains and even cleaning up my gardening tools.
It’s one of those hardworking bars I always like to have nearby after a day in the garden.
No-Bite-Me™ Extra Strength Itch Relief Balm: For Those Unexpected Irritations
No matter how careful I am, something always seems to find me eventually.
Itch Reilief Balm is a garden must-have for me. I reach for it after bee stings, bug bites, or those itchy rashes I sometimes get from my squash plants. It’s small, easy to keep nearby, and simple to apply whenever I need a little soothing relief.
A Few Garden Must-Haves Go a Long Way
Gardening is one of my favorite ways to spend time outside, and I don’t mind getting my hands dirty. But after years of gardening, I’ve learned that being prepared makes the whole experience a little easier. So whether I’m harvesting the last of the summer vegetables, cleaning up the garden for fall, or just spending an afternoon outside, these are the products I like to have within reach.
Because a little dirt is part of gardening. The itchy bites and irritated skin? Those I can do without.
