Bill, thanks for giving the link; I was too honorary to look up.

C05989N is the model # of mine.

I have short legs so the adjustable one would likely be too tall even at its
shortest setting.

If I hadn't had my shins shot off by the Nazis the taller stool would
probably be my choice.

I stake and weave cherrys, peas,.... so I am picking low on the vine with
the stool and higher with it just hanging on my posterior.

It's great for hand weeding asparagus, too slow for harvesting them. You
will learn when to use and when not to. They are the cats meow.





Thanks,

You mean like this one?  (half way down)

You're right; it looks funky but anything to
save trips to the chiropractor is a good thing.

Thanks for the tip!

Bill



The greatest thing I have ever used for picking cherry's, peas, beans and
hand weeding or anything else where you are normally squatting is a strap-on
milk stool. I forget where I heard about using one, but they work great.
They really look stupid hanging off your butt, but I don't care. I think the
name of the company where I ordered mine from was something like NASCO. It
has a plastic seat, nylon straps and a stainless pigtail. I will almost
guarantee if you try one you won't give it up.

Thanks,
