My Top Five garden essentials begin with a quality garden kneeler. Amazon lists a dozen products in this category, but buyers beware. Lawnbits is the best and is built in the USA! We all tend to be less flexible as we age, and getting up and down off the ground to weed or plant becomes more challenging. The Lawnbits garden kneeler is "Mae in America" with soft foam and solid steel supports capable of supporting 330-pounds. It even doubles as a seat for recreational use!
My Sloggers waterproof clogs live at the back door and are the only proper shoes in my garden. I realize wet tennis shoes result in blistered heels and sore feet. Sloggers exceed any garden challenge and are cute enough to wear to the garden center. Sloggers are made in America of 100% medical-grade acrylic. The signature deep Lug sole is excellent for traction in wet and muddy conditions, The opening is encircled with a soft fabric binding to prevent leaks and for comfort. They can be washed off with the garden hose and lasts for years.
Windland tools make my favorite pruning tool. The MK4 Ratchet Pruner is my pick for the best trimming tool on the market. This will cut branches even if you have arthritis or other dexterity problems. It is easy to clean and maintain. Instead of rivets, the design with bushes and pins allows owners to disassemble and reassemble the cutters for maintenance and cleaning.
