This seems rather uninformed to me.
- mcguire 8y agoGardening? Nudity and lawn tools seem a bad combination.
- dan-robertson 8y agoThis is a “common sense” suggestion that falls at the first bit of actual common sense. The risk with tools is usually the fingers (ie near the sharp bits of the tool). I don’t know how you do gardening but I think one could garden in the nude for a lifetime without accidentally cutting something off. The other common tool would be a lawnmower and it’s quite common to mow the lawn wearing eg flip flops or sandals even though your feet are close to the blades. I don’t think they protect much compared to being barefoot. Protective clothing is different. But I think gardening nude is about replacing wearing shorts and maybe a shirt, as opposed to replacing wearing long sleeved clothes and thick gloves.
- mcguire 8y agoIt may just be me; I was crawling around under the rose bushes yesterday.
- teilo 8y agoIt is. The relaxed attitude over nudity in Germany has never meant people are regularly nude in public.
