I have an electric mower, and it is easy to use and very light to push over my lawn. I also cut the lawn every couple of weeks, so it doesn’t get too tall. We did have a Victa push button mower, but it was very heavy to push around.

I think doing a little and often works for me. It is easier to prune plants if they don’t need much trimming so I chop a stray shoot whenever I see it rather than have a huge job with a big bush that exhausts me. For weeds its a similar thing. I bend and pull one if I see it and then I’m done. Depending on your health issues it may be a good idea to ‘pace’ yourself like this too? A GP may be able to advise. (I think a little ‘workout’ ever so often helps loosen me up too). Not sure about the lawn. If it’s in a contained space you could consider a pet like a guinea pig or chicken to keep it down?

An occupational therapist would be able to help you find the right tools for you, or could find a aide and equipment store like GMS everyday independance which may be able to give some advice

Try talking to a physiotherapist – they might have suggestions for you.

No help for tools but perhaps consider letter box dropping for kids / teens who might like to earn a few dollars every weekend or so by helping out in your yard?

Interested in others answers too. After a hip injury and a slipped disc in my back. Kneeling and pulling weeds isn’t so fun and round-up just doesn’t do the job.

We grow plants/trees/shrubs that require minimal maintenance.

We purchased a battery operated lawn mower from Bunnings and it is so easy to use.

A friend of mine was twerking is the other day that she loves her push button lawn mower. But I’m not sure where she got it from

I also am finding it hard to cope with all I need to do I got one of those stools for outside that you can sit on or turn over and you can kneel on it and the ha does help you get up. Get a gardener to come in once a month and that is a big help I get him to trim trees rack up.

You can buy Rover Pro Cut 760 Self Propelled Lawn Mower second hand on Gumtree. My Dad sold his on there as he has a gardener now doing his lawn. Go to Bunnings or other garden and tool centres and look what they have the battery option Lawn mowers have easy start and some are very light too. Our Rover cost us $1,300 and was 20 years old and was still looking new look after these mowers and they keep their value.

I would visit Bunnings and see their advice.
