Been having some back trouble lately and realized raised beds are a lifesaver... built mine waist-high using old pallets, super cheap and easy on the spine. Curious how others handle gardening without killing their backs?
Raised beds are definitely a solid move, especially at waist height. I've also seen folks using vertical gardening setups—like wall planters or hanging pots—to minimize bending. Personally, I set up a small potting bench last summer, and honestly, it's been a game changer for repotting and seed starting. Have you tried anything vertical yet, or sticking mostly to raised beds?

Potting benches are handy, agreed. Vertical setups can be good too, but watch out—some wall planters dry out super fast. Learned that the hard way... raised beds still seem most reliable overall.
