Long reach hand tools
Hand tools with longer handles are useful for light digging and cultivating the soil. They are particularly recommended for reaching to the back of beds, if you garden sitting down or can't bend easily.
When choosing a handle for working standing up or from a chair, check the length allows you to work without bending too much and that you can keep your back straight – good posture when gardening will help prevent stresses and strains.
