Keeping up with weeding
I have a pretty big garden and I do have lawn and hedge hep but weeds were growing faster than I could deal with them.
Then I bought 2 marvelous gadgets, a Japanese hoe ( robust metal hook on a small handle ) and a folding stool. I can now weed vert efficiently sitting down !
Hope this may e hseful for some of you keen gardeners,

Hi @Chezza - welcome to the online community!
I see you're joining in the gardening tips 😊 We have a long-running Gardening discussion which I've linked below which might be of interest to you as well:
We'd welcome you to introduce yourself, maybe start a discussion in Say Hello and share a little of how arthritis affects you (only as much as you're comfortable sharing).
Lovely to meet you!

That looks very interesting @Renie thanks for the tip.
I already have the seat (and now some raised beds) but the hoe wich looks a lot like a sickle is new to me and a great idea😊
I would need a right handed one.
Thanks again
