Am I the only one who wears out just one finger of one hand of one gardening glove??
I must unconsciously grub with mostly the middle finger of my right hand - I always, always get a hole there in otherwise quite serviceable gloves. I don't think it can be repaired. I've thought of cutting off the finger of another glove and stitching it on - that might be OK, though I think soil would work its way into the gap. I've thought of wearing a thimble on my right middle finger, like a little helmet. That might just fall off.
If only I could find someone else with small hands, who wears out their left hand gloves - I could send half of my now useless left hand gloves and they could send half of their useless right hand ones, so we could each maximize our usable pairs. Who cares if they don't match!

I'd repair it with some gaffers tape (like duct tape, but a) black and b) with a texture more like the gloves) until at least one other finger went. But that's because I'm cheap!
As for fixing these? Tooldip? Duct tape? I wonder if you could prevent this by putting a bit of duct tape on the inside of that glove finger.
I'll post again if I get any kind of solution. Keep the ideas coming though!
But for gardening gloves, my solution is to get multiple pairs when I see a good price. I did try duct tape once but the repair on the index finger made it too stiff to be useful. Maybe one of those rubber thimbles would work?
