For Problem Hands

I was asked to help gardeners with problems with their bones (hands and knees) – did I know of anything that would make life easier? After each had described their problem in detail I was able to come up with answers for their specific problems. My time in the safety field and selling gloves has allowed me to see most of all the gloves and aids for hands and kneeling situations.

I am by no means able to solve all problems only these few that have asked for help. I have listed some of the ideas in the shopping cart section titled "For Problem Hands". I have also added a few safety items, clothing, and tools to this category, in hopes that this will help.

The gloves:

These gloves are for people with poor circulation or arthritis. The first two provide tension and the use of body heat to relieve some of the problems with arthritis, while the third is strictly for increasing the body temperature. (Also see: Getting a proper fitting glove)

Clothing:

Some arthritis medicines require low amounts of sun exposure. That is why I have included the Chiller Bandanna – to keep cool in the warm sun.

Tools:

The Korean Hoe is listed because it requires no wrist movement to use, and the apron is added to help in the carrying of garden tools to the site.

Safety:

The Sun-X towelettes were included to limit the effect that the sun may have on you.

I am always open to new ideas and products that will help gardeners enjoy their work or hobby.
