Ergonomics Gardening: Garden All Day and Dance the Night Away

Are you exhausted by a few hours in your garden? Do you wish you could do more but find it a chore? Ergonomics examines the safest and most efficient way to garden. The main focus is to use the body efficiently and match the physical demands of a task with the choice of the right tool for a particular task and the use of the tool that best fits the gardener. Safety is a major consideration. Efficiency comes from the type of tools used so that there is little physical impact on the body if possible. Learn how to lower the risk of injury, improve efficiency, and achieve mental and physical satisfaction from your garden.
