🍂 The crisp air of autumn is on the breeze, and it’s time for many of you to prep the garden for winter. Tidying up, raking leaves, pruning back growth, planting and stowing away pots can be surprisingly tough on your back. So here are a few tips to keep things safe and manageable:
🔄 Mix it up: Vary your movements to avoid repetitive strain.
⚖️ Think before you lift: Gauge the weight first, and if it’s heavy, don’t be a hero.
💪 Lift smart: Use your legs and engage your core muscles—don’t let your spine do all the work!
☕ And most importantly—take breaks! Your garden will wait, your back won’t!
