Plant Markers and Other Tools Bring Ease to Gardening

Protect, Recognize and Celebrate Plants With Plant Markers

Oh, the aching back. Sometimes that’s our response after a day of vigorous gardening. But we love our gardening and won’t give it up. Thanks to some innovative garden products, we can keep gardening with a little less pain, and a little more pleasure. Just like plant markers can label our young shoots and make our gardening a little easier, so can some of the following garden tools recommended by Health magazine:

• Compression Gloves
  Cotton gloves breathe well, but can rip easily. Leather gloves protect well, but sometimes leave the hands sweaty. According to Health, the Bionic Relief Grip gardening gloves are just the right fit, are durable and keep your hands cool and dry with the terrycloth interior. The fingertips of the gloves are covered with silicone so you can grip your tools and plant markers with ease. The padded gloves keep blisters away and the wrist band helps support and keep your wrist from getting scratched.

• Comfort Shovel
  A ring on the end of your shovel? A rounded rubber-covered handle on the end of the shovel is intended to give the gardener more support and a better grip.

• Effortless Pruners
  If you have a lot of pruning to do, your hand muscles start to feel the ache. Some pruners like tools that take less effort to squeeze and can reduce the pain in your palm. For gardeners who suffer from arthritis this brings added value.

• Lightweight Cordless Trimmer
  Trimming the hedges usually causes you to hold a pose that strains your back and shoulders. And you have to swing that power cord around so that you don’t slice it in half. Trimmers have become lighter to help ease strain and, even better, you don’t always have to use the extension cord and find an outlet when operating them.

• Padded Seat and Kneeler
  Throw out the old cushy computer mouse pads that you’ve been using as garden kneelers and invest in the tool that you can kneel on for ground work and then flip over and sit on for pruning and placing your plant markers.

• Stand-up Weeder
  You won’t have to use that padded kneeler for weeding if you have a stand-up weeder. Just step on a pedal and the tool will grab, twist and pull that weed right out of the ground.

• Compact Hose
  Another back-saver and space-saver is the hose that coils up like a spring. You don’t have to drag it around corners, it’s light-weight and you don’t have to spend time winding it up when you’re done.

At Kincaid Plant Markers, we hope that our plant markers are yet another tool that makes your gardening easier. Plant markers allow you reassurance about where your tender plants are growing so they won’t be trampled or mistaken as weeds by others. It marks where they’ll pop up next growing season and labels them for visitors and for you. Let our plant markers add to your pleasure of gardening and the celebration of your beautiful and fruitful garden.
