hard to have to get off of it to move it every few feet or so. what
has helped me more than anything.. still have to move it frequently
however... is a new 5 gallon paint bucket with a lid. with its lid
side up i can sit comfortably on it, pick it up by its bail to move it
and use a large walking stick, like a shilali, to help me get up and
down. i think the kneeler would be good to help one get up and down
probably more than the shilali, as in my case my hands and wrists are
in not too great a condition.

You might be too stingy for this, too, but it beats a 5 gallon bucket:

i think what i need to do is to learn to use a long handled hoe or
scuffling tool to do a lot of the weeding or cultivating rather than
having to bend or sit or kneel.


Amen.

Converting to raised beds can help, too.

I'd be so much of a better gardener if the ground wasn't all the way on
the ground.
