I have about decided on next project for this summers garden... All the bending down gets harder and harder every year... So think I will try this:

Seat would be clamp on boat swivel seat.

Now to do some height and reach measurements...

Should be handy to be able to put plants - trays - picked produce on the cart and be able to reach the ground without having to bend down... Hmmmmm Anybody have any thoughts??

Good luck. Let me know how it works. Knee replacement stops me from kneeling. Tried one of those low scooter like gadgets that some gardening catalogs sell. The position once I got on them was too awkward to stay on long. I just bend over til my back is breaking, then retire to my lawn chair under a peach tree, read the newspaper, have a cold drink and back to bending over again. I find if I bend over, support myself partially with one arm on a knee and work with free arm, it takes a little pressure off from my back. I just love the work so don’t let the pain get me down. Beats housework any day. Just despise housework and cooking.
