Modified Wheelchair Works Great In Garden
 |
I知 a retired 91-year-old gardener and use an old modified wheelchair to make life easier. I removed the backrest fabric from the chair and simply sit over the big wheels. I move along by turning the wheels by hand. The chair will straddle one row of beans or peas so I can pick three rows at a time. I added a pair of wood handles on back, which makes it easy to move the chair from place to place. I make sure not to till the ground close to picking time so the ground remains as smooth as possible.
I知 6 ft. 4 in. tall, so I really appreciate how this wheelchair saves my back. (Homer Robertson, 549 Dean Church Rd., Ozark, Ala. 36360)
