What to look for
- Raised beds and kneelers with rails take out the getting down and back up.
- A lighter hose gets dragged out. A heavy one means the garden quietly stops being watered.
Common questions
- How can someone keep gardening with a bad back or knees?
- Raised beds and a garden kneeler-and-seat bring the work up to a comfortable level and limit bending and kneeling. Long-reach, lightweight tools with cushioned grips do the rest.
- What tools are easiest on arthritic hands?
- Ergonomic tools with thick, cushioned grips, and ratcheting pruners that multiply hand strength, reduce strain. Lightweight hoses and watering wands also help.
