Very awesome blog post, I think that this type of development in society is wonderful, especially within the gardening communities. Great job of covering these important topics.

That is really cool. Making wide rows between garden beds can allot for plenty of room for wheelchairs.

Thanks for your kind words Anne! I’ve discovered some new tools since writing this post that I’d love to share with you for your book. The Groundhog Rake for one… I think I need to write part two of this post soon!

Hi, Gen,
Thanx so much for this post and for the link to Thrive. Nice resource. I’ll be referring to both while writing the Your Gardening Body book.

You are so right, Greg! I got two of those knockoff trugs, after having my good Tub Trugs for almost two years, and the knockoffs lasted barely two months of professional work before cracking. This is going to sound dumb, but I actually rapped my knuckles HARD on those stupid rigid handles – once causing a pretty nasty bruise. The handles just snap back at you because of the rigidity of the cheap plastic they use.

Real tub trugs are the way to go. I haven’t seen any good knockoffs at all.

Fern, thanks so much for commenting! I too love the conversational aspect of blogging. It makes newspapers seem so dry and dull when you can actually take part in the online world!

I really appreciated the inspiration your post brought up! My Mom’s got Rheumatoid Arthritis and enjoys food gardening on her balcony, so your post really made me feel great that even if she becomes less physically able in time, she’ll still be able to really enjoy that connection to the earth!

The trugs are awesome. Make sure you get the flexible ones. There are knock offs that are much more rigid and not as easy to use or carry.

This is exactly what I love about blogging. The conversation. I really like it that you came up with a more positive title (enabled versus disabled). I use similar gloves to the ones you featured, and I agree that they really are the best, even for a young whipper snapper like me who doesn't have any arthritis in her hands...yet.
