Whew, thank you. It's always nice hearing from other folks who have similar situations. We filled in the original septic tanks located at the back of our property. I'm not sure why they were put so far back. The previous owners left the double cement tanks open in the ground and put leaves down...

I was wondering what you all think about building some raised veggie beds in close proximity to our very old septic tanks. Our house was build in 1965. The tanks are entirely cement and are a foot or so from our sunroom (a porch the former owners enclosed). They're buried and the land slopes...

NoooOOOooo! I just Googled rheumatoid arthritis and a huge image of a woman with inflamed knuckles came up, and she's sitting in a garden with a trowel in her lap. That's me, minus the long hair. Ack!!

Sounds painful. You should get PJs with feet protectors built in. Or maybe a Snuggie? Don't those Snuggie things have feets?

Wow, unbelievable! And can life insurance cancel on you should they find out you're at death's door? We don't have life insurance. My husband has had vertigo for years and doesn't drive, and a thyroid condition. I suppose he would be denied or the policy would be really expensive? I never...

Wonderful suggestions, thank you!! I've actually been woken up in the middle of the night with aching fingers. It's so aggravating how pain in fingers of all things can keep you up and cause you to lose sleep. Ugh. I'm getting ready to do some sewing after decades of not touching a sewing...

So many wonderful pages to browse! I stepped away for a week and this discussion just exploded. :p I'm self-diagnosed as having arthritis in two fingers on my right hand. I've had carpal tunnel before, but this is different, and based on my history with my hands and fingers, I'm content...

Straw bale, thanks for the reminder. That's a great idea. I know you can actually open a hole in the surface on top and follow a few easy steps to compost inside them and then plant directly in the bales. Two stacked on top of each other could be a nice height. But bales as walls for beds is...

I love those photos! Just two or three more rows of stacked pavers and you'll have an accessible bed. You can sit in on a walker if you use one to reach the soil. It's movement that requires using my hands out in front of me that can cause pain, even when I'm doing lots of yoga and not...

I'm 47, but as of late I've been wrestling with chronic back pain and noticing how stiff and sore my legs are whenever I stand up from sitting on the floor. I'm planning garden beds to build before spring arrives and remembered modified beds a dear friend had made for her. She had Parkinson's...
