A little OT: Gardening, any helpers or advice to help out the knees?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

As with a house comes weeding outside, and getting the flower

beds ready, and mulching.

Anyone have any tips about your knees. I was out weeding

one side of our mulched trees and OMG my knees were so stiff!

I can do the keep your legs straight for a while and

bend over, or the squating (but this gets painful after

a while, and ow when I stand up I feel so old.

Does anyone have any tips?

Does bringing a little stool or those padded knee

things help anyone? I'm not to inclined to try

the padded knee things, because it just hurts to

be on my knees for any length of time.

Thanks!

Connie
