    Thanks Chopper, I do use an old fork handle pointed off as a dibber for planting. My hands aren't too bad because they do get plenty of exercise around the house. My main problem is standing for too long or sitting for too long. So bending is also a problem but I manage. If I didn't try and gave up all together then I would be less mobile than I am. My back knees and ankles are the biggest problem. Thanks for your useful comments I am sure a lot of us will take them on board.

    I have designed and created this semi-portable, auto-irrigating modular garden for those with mental or physical disability. The Garden is designed to accommodate any standard wheelchair allowing the user to get up close to the gardening area.
