Body Mechanics and Garedening

How is your planting doing and how are your flowers and plants blossoming?  Ours are doing just great. I was looking out my window  and I saw a gentleman bending over trying to weed manually. I said to myself,  there goes his back.

  Please remember to use good body mechanics. It will save you a lot of back pain. Do not bend from your waist down,but squat down.
Use your leg and thigh muscles to sustain your body weight. Better still, get a small stool and sit in it while you dig. You will be glad you did.
