Summer is always an exciting time for all the gardeners out there. Seasons change and there is always something exciting to do in the gardening world, but there is something beautiful and refreshing about summer planting and harvesting. If you can stay cool, that is!

Whether your mouth is watering for fresh squash or peaches, we want to ease your gardening projects this summer. Our ergonomic and long-reach garden tools can be of much use to gardeners during this hot season. With these tools, one can enjoy the outdoors while reducing their sweat and fatigue, all because the smart design of these tools result in expending less time and energy.

Gardening starters: cultivating

For many who have a small garden in their yard, one task that can be very difficult takes place at the beginning of the whole process: cultivating. We have two cultivators that both feature an ergonomic handle that has a right angle shape. This shape makes it easier for those with a variety of conditions that affect the hand and arm, conditions like arthritis, Parkinson’s disease or stroke. These conditions can cause pain, tremors and weakness in the hand and the arm. Traditional handles only exacerbate these symptoms, as represented in the picture below.

Easi-Grip tools (green) allow the wrist to stay straight, unlike traditional tools (red).

The basic cultivator

The PETA Easi-Grip Cultivator makes cultivating much easier. Loosen up soil and extract weeds more easily than ever with the help of the added leverage provided by the right angle handle.

PETA Easi-Grip Cultivator

No more strain on the wrist, since you can hold your wrist straight with no awkward bending. To take away even more of the stress from your wrist, plug in the PETA Easi-Grip Arm Support Cuff to gain leverage on your forearm.

Extended cultivator to use while standing

Use the PETA Easi-Grip Long Reach Cultivator without bending or kneeling.

For larger gardens or to prevent ever having to bend far over or kneel down in the dirt to cultivate, use the PETA Easi-Grip Long Reach Cultivator. This cultivator is 32 1/2 inches long and can also be used with the PETA Easi-Grip Arm Support Cuff. For many people, this makes cultivating faster and more enjoyable, allowing them to remain standing in a comfortable, upright position. No back pain or wrist pain!

Prepare your garden rows and watch the magic happen. Happy summer gardening!
