    Please bring Dr. Mike back from time to time, this is great! I loved to see the wrong movement in weeding and the correction of it. Really helpful, thanks.
  • @Blake.Cooper
    Janey, you run this channel like a champ! What a great idea to have Dr. Mike on! Thanks for ALL you teach us EVERY DAY!!

    My tip for handling heavy bags is to have an employee at the store load it into your trunk then at home put your wheel barrow next to the trunk of your vehicle and flip the bag into the wheel barrow. Open the bag in the wheel barrow and shovel it where you need it till bag is the weight you can handle. One bag at a time. Slow and steady wins the race 😃
  • @lauradaniel7596
    I’ve found having two pads that you can move as you go about helps out as well.
  • I just love that Janey supports her friends. You can just tell that she is one solid person. Great info Mike!

    This was a very smart gift to all of us who garden.
  • @kdshockley2016
    As we age, gardening smarter is the key. Thank you Janey for introducing us to Dr. Mike and showing us how to keep our muscles strong which will prevent injuries in the garden. ❤
  • @daiseegray9110
    As I get older it’s important to keep your balance. Mike is a great resource 🌼🐝

    I have a thick two inch yoga mat I use as a knee pad along my garden beds and it’s super nice to have a bigger space to cushion my joints. I do like to do a simple warm up of yoga in my garden before working. Because in my mind gardening is a workout and if I would stretch before the gym I should stretch before gardening lol. It’s also a lovely way to connect more deeply to garden.
  • Thank you for bringing Dr Mike to show us some ways to move correctly while gardening. Please bring him back!
  • @pamelajones4327
    Thank you so much for bringing Dr. Mike. Please bring him back from time to time.
  • @jeriwebb700
    I really needed this! Been hurt several times due to gardening. Would love to see a live with Dr. Mike to answer questions!! No other gardening channel is as informative as yours!! I watch several and yours is my favorite for entertainment and useful information. Keep up the good work!!
  • My knees don’t work anymore, so getting on them is a real challenge. If I would go down on my knees I would need a back up plan in order to get back up 😂 it usually involves some rolling 🤣 💐💚🙃
  • @user-yw9vm9gv9e
    Dr. Mike has great advice. Unfortunately I don’t often do the right body mechanics. I definitely will be more mindful.And I will be watching Dr. Mike channel for good advice. Thank you Dr.Mike and Janey
  • Great idea, Janey. So nice of you to include an expert in this field. I never really gave it much thought, but it is important to take even better care of ourselves than we take care of our own plants!
  • Thank you so much for having Dr. Mike on. I am over 60 and awaiting hip replacement surgery. I will definitely be going to his channel to get prepared for that. My mobility at this time is very limited and I want to be as good as I can be before and after.
  • @clemqueens1943
    Good thinking Janey!! So many of us “think” we’re being careful with our plant posture and most importantly picking up something heavy, but Dr Mike really simplified the way we need to take care of ourselves. Would be a perfect weekly reminder for all of us if you did a quick 5 minutes per week dedicated to this on your channel.
  • While I love gardening videos with plants involved, this is such a needed video for what we love! Thank you for thinking about all of our needs.
