Default Re: gardening back pain

There are also long-handled tools specifically designed so that you can work normal, ground-level beds without having to bend over - long-handled and properly leveraged spades and earth turners and whatnot. My Grandma has the same problem as you do, but often refuses to let me help, so we got her a set of these tools which she now swears by.
