pain/strength issues? I love to garden but have not been able to lift even 5 lb. garden soil bags since last season, or enjoy gardening as just pulling up soil with the shovel can put me in pain for days, due to a congenital back defect which is deteriorating. I have a very limited budget. Any suggestions? Thanks!

a garden cart. even a little red wagon. use this to transport but be mindful not to overload it. also knee pads and do little bits at a time. cocentrate on hardy plants for you area. when you are gardening be mindful of the little joys around you. ask for help on moving the big stuff.
