Have a shower chair with adjustable legs that Hubby can't use anymore and I discovered a use for it. When I or he need to do something in the garden or just outside that we needed to get lower to the ground with out bending it works fine ,it has the arms on it to steady us when we get up . We were using a 5 gal bucket before but had a hard time rising up . When I had to reprogram our Malibu lights and sprinkler system it came in mighty handy. Just wanted to pass this along for those who might find it helpful.

That is a spiffy idea!

I ended up buying a gizmo from Gardener's Eden that is a kneeling pad with arms and if you turn it over it is a little stool. It helps when I am feeling old and creaky.

Hey, great idea! I have a couple of them stored away in my garage.......hey, they are adjustable, too, I believe. I'll have to look, but if they are adjustable, we can make them a bit lower, more near the ground, so we won't have to bend over too far. Thanks! Smile

This is what I have and couldn't garden much without it. It was a retirement gift from someone in my office.

Good idea. I would bet it would come in handy for inside tasks, as well.
