    I have thought of doing something like that for doing work on the ground. He must spend a lot of time pulling weeds. He needs to put a sun shade over top of it.

    Great idea. I spent a lot of time as a youngin in weeding a 1/2 acre garden. This is a great idea for older folks to!

    Weeding this way is sensible and efficient. He's planting doubled rows; awful to straddle, or a lot of twisting to work adjacent rows.

    I NEED one of these. Been thinking of different ways to go about it for a couple years. We grow a small plot of green bush beans that we have kept as a family heirloom for 40 years. I just have a hard time picking enough to can, by bending over.

    Same concept, but a professional build for multiple workers, and for harvesting, rather than weeding.

    Do the picked weeds just grow back if he drops them on the soil? Concept is great, looks to be a little uncomfortable, but clearly better than bending over all day.

    The roots are quickly baked and killed in the sun. But I would be putting them in a bucket for compost pile.
