⚠️ Weeds beware—but protect your back while you're at it!
This Ergonomics of Gardening feature is all about using a weedwacker without wrecking your posture.
🌿 Tip: Keep a staggered stance for balance, make sure your hands and feet move together to avoid twisting from the waist. Let your legs and arms do the work—not your spine!

🌿✂️ Prune smarter, not harder!
In this installment of our Ergonomics of Gardening series, we’re talking about proper pruning posture.
🌱 Tip: Keep tools close to your body, if possible; when reaching, don’t shrug your shoulders or hunch your spine. Your shoulders and neck will thank you later!
Small adjustments = big benefits when it comes to reducing fatigue and preventing injury in the garden.

🌿✂️ Ergonomics of Gardening: Hedger Edition
Trimming hedges shouldn’t mean trimming your mobility!
When using a hedger, posture is everything. Here’s how to protect your neck, shoulders, and back:
✅ Keep the tool close to your body to reduce strain on your arms and shoulders.
✅ Adjust your stance—a staggered or wider base improves stability.
✅ Alternate grip to avoid forearm fatigue and elbow tendinitis.
✅ Avoid reaching too high—use a step stool or reposition instead of extending overhead or looking up for too long.

A few mindful adjustments can make yardwork safer and more enjoyable—because your garden should bloom, not your back pain! 🌸
