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.
