Help for Aching Backs
 |
As we have mentioned several times lately, it's bulb-planting time, and for many of us that means sore backs and aching knees. This Ultimate Strap On Gardening Stool might be just the remedy for those ills. It's a seat that straps on and allows you to sit comfortably and work low to the ground for an extended period. Originally developed in Europe for milking cows (does anyone milk cows by hand any more?) it is light weight - 4lbs.- and has proven surprisingly helpful to those working on vegetable farms or in plant nurseries where much of the work is done kneeling or crouching. As kneeling and crouching are exactly the problems most of us encounter planting bulbs we thought this might help!
