April showers bring May… Weeds?
Occasionally my wife enjoys to write reviews of products she uses - this is one of those posts. Enjoy!
No matter how much mulch and how many yards of garden fabric, we still get weeds in our planting beds. And, as everyone knows, weeding is not fun. I have been pretty laisser faire about it in the past (sometimes weeds have nice flowers!) but not this year. So far this spring I have spent more time pulling up than planting.
I do not have to tell anyone that it can be murder on your back and knees to spend that much time hunched over a planting bed. After one weekend, I bought the Folding Garden Kneeler to save my joints. It can be used as either a kneeler or as a seat. I use the kneeler when I need to get more towards the back of the area I’m working on. I also use it in the kneeler position when I want to stay dry and clean but still sit close to the ground. The handles really do make it easier to get up – no matter how young you are, sitting in one spot for too long makes standing an adventure. The seat height is great for lighter work and planting. Even a foot difference makes it easier to see how plants will lay out and look together. When I am done for the day, I just fold it up and stash it in the garage.
