If you are doing anything more than growing herbs on a windowsill indoors, it's as well to buy some gardening clothes to protect you from injury, dirt and soil. Most aren't that expensive.
Footwear
Apart from saving your casual shoes or trainers from getting dirty or damaged, having a pair of heavy duty shoes or boots will also protect your feet from stones, falling items or tools, so it's worth investing in a sturdy pair of gardening shoes or wellington boots.
Gardening Aprons
Aprons not only protect your clothes from dirt but many are also highly functional with additional pockets and pouches which can hold things from seed packets to hand tools - plant labels to garden twine. They also come in handy for your mobile phone or keys.
Gardening Gloves
A pair of gardening gloves is a must to keep your hands protected from cuts and abrasions. There are may varieties available from light-weight cotton gloves to thick waterproof heavy duty gloves so it may be worth investing in a pair of each type.
