When My Doctor Said I
Had to Quit Gardening, I
Told Him to Pound Sand!

As I grew older, I continued gardening even if it was just a potted plant or container of
impatiens. The day after I closed on my very first house ¨C a townhouse in Marlton, New
Jersey ¨C I headed off to the home center, bought lumber and built my own square-foot
garden boxes. That was 15 years ago.

I've learned and shared a lot about gardening ¡­ what works and what doesn't ¡­ through
trial and error.

And the first thing I always look for when visiting someone's home is the garden.
Over the years, arthritis and stiffness from age and
two car accidents slowed my gardening to a crawl.
I hated it.

There is nothing I relish more than the joy of planting and watching things grow. And I
wasn't about to be stopped by pain and stiffness.

I was determined to do something about it.

Today, I'm thrilled to report that my husband Matt and I have finally found the perfect
solution. It's something that lets you keep gardening even if you can't bend or kneel like
you used to.

In fact, it's perfect even if you're able to garden¡­but don't have the room!

I'll tell you more about it in a minute. But I can say it's the best thing since, well, since chili
cook-offs became Olympic-class competition!
How to grow your greatest garden ever
Without bending. And without pain!

There are times when the last thing I want to do is bend over and kneel to pull weeds ¡­ or
even pick tomatoes. It hurts just to look at the garden when it's overgrown and uncared for.
Weeds can take over so quickly that in just a few days my flowerbeds go from looking lush
and gorgeous to a field gone to seed. Since my accidents, my low back and neck sometimes
lock up on me and make it impossible to work in the garden.

But I'm a stubborn German just like my father. So stubborn, in fact, that not long after the
second car accident, I snuck my mother-in-law's claw gripper ¡­ the one she uses to get cans
off high shelves ¡­ out into the garden in hopes of weeding and caring for my flower beds.

I thought if I didn't bend (too much) I could still keep the garden looking nice. Dreams are
good, aren't they? But I couldn't get the claw part to hang on to the weeds long enough.
And pulling the trigger on that gripper handle hurt.

It started to feel like my favorite pastime was more like training for a triathlon than relaxation
and fun. Who needs that?

AARP REPORTS DECLINE IN GARDENING

I read something interesting in the Spring 2006 edition of the AARP Bulletin: Sales at
nurseries and home centers have declined since 2003. Has gardening fallen out of
favor? Some experts report that baby boomers ¨C the first wave turns 60 in 2006 ¨C just
can't bend or kneel like they used to. And that's why they've given it up.

But thanks to GardenRack, they don't have to any longer!

If you had to stop doing the gardening you love ¨C or have been told to quit -- welcome to
GardenRack, the free-standing, portable, low cost alternative to in-ground gardening.

It's the way to garden without pain from bending or kneeling.
A Custom-Fit Garden ¡­ Designed Just For You

If I could show you a way to walk out onto your deck,
patio, balcony, or into your yard and do some weeding,
watering, planting and harvesting ¨C all without bending
or kneeling ¨C would you be interested?

GardenRack, designed to protect your back and knees, is
every garden lover's dream.
How?

The height can be adjusted to your own custom fit.

That's right. You can tailor GardenRack's dimensions
to fit any height needed. In the downloadable plans,
the planting surface is designed to be waist high. Click
here to order.

I'm 5 foot, 2 inches tall. If that's your height, too, then just use the dimensions stated in the
plans. If you happen to be taller or shorter, just measure your height from the ground to
your waist. That's how high the GardenRack should be.

Since you can customize the height to your individual needs, GardenRack is a perfect fit for
gardeners in wheelchairs or with limited mobility. There's even a way to attach a trellis to
grow vertically and reach vegetables for your supper ¡­ without help.

GardenRack will bring the joy and love of gardening back into your life. I guarantee it!
There's definitely a market for
this! GardenRack is perfect for
those of us who are getting older
and can't stand the soreness from
the bending and kneeling
gardening requires. Thanks,
Victoria!

Attention Apartment and Condo Dwellers:
If You've Got 15 Square Feet, You Can Have a
Great Garden, Too

If you've never gardened before but would love to experiment on a small scale ¡­ or you've
recently downsized from a house to a condo, townhouse, or apartment ¡­ GardenRack is
ideal.

Have you always admired one of those farm-like vegetable gardens, gazing down row after
row of corn, beans, squash and cucumbers? Does the thought of a juicy sweet tomato
sandwich on a hot summer's day ¨C a thick slab of a red, vine-ripened beefsteak seasoned
with mayo, salt and pepper (catch the juice before it drips off your chin!) ¨C make you yearn
to buy a farm just so you can grow your own tomatoes?

Or can you imagine being able to have a big cutting garden, so you can once again enjoy
gorgeous bouquets of flowers like you did in your larger house?

GardenRack is the answer. If you've got 15 square feet ¨C about the size of a standard
washer and dryer sitting side by side ¨C you can have a gorgeous garden. No matter where
you live!

GardenRack Plans Now

And if your "garden" is more like a concrete jungle ¨C GardenRack is perfect for you, too.
GardenRack performs double duty ¨C it's a beautiful addition to your landscape and an
efficient and convenient place to grow flowers, veggies, and herbs without changing a
thing in your yard.

Do you have a balcony or rooftop? GardenRack is the ideal fit for small spaces.

GardenRack isn't just for outside growing! Set it up in a spare room under lights to grow
all year round. Imagine serving fresh lettuce from your garden in a salad on Valentine's
Day ¡­ in Vermont. No greenhouse required!
GardenRack is Portable Gardening at its Best

I know friends who are reluctant to move because they'd be leaving gardens they'd tended
for 20 years.

You know what I'm talking about ... Perennial beds full of bulbs and plants that show off
spectacular color even in the dog days of summer; shade beds with 10 varieties of hosta,
impatiens, coleus and caladium where the cat goes to hide; the 1-acre vegetable garden
that yields prize-winning pumpkins and enough tomatoes, peppers and squash to last you
through the winter.

Since GardenRack is portable, you can take your garden with you. And you'll never again
have to wait for soil conditions to improve before you plant.

The first step in every successful garden is good soil preparation. In the past, this could be
a daunting chore if you've never gardened before. Soil takes years to adjust if it's too
sandy (water runs right through it and doesn't stay in the roots of your plants) or too
compact (like clay so that roots can't get a good head start and spread out properly to
flourish).

Having perfect soil in the garden is something that all gardeners dream of. But it can take
years to get the kind of garden loam you can have in an afternoon with GardenRack.

All you'll need for a ready-to-grow garden is a layer of pea gravel for drainage, good
potting soil with plant food and water retention crystals already in it, some vermiculite or
perlite for aeration, and some compost for nutrients.

You can get everything you need for an instant garden at your local home center, including
the compost. Just look for something called dehydrated cow manure. It comes in bags and
is odor-free ¡­ you won't smell like you're in a pasture of cow paddies when you open the
bag, I swear!

That's it.
I Wish I'd Had a GardenRack When
I Moved to Virginia

Do you have a minute? I'd like to tell you a quick story.

When I moved to Warner, Virginia I was 10-year-old-
first-time-at-Disney-World excited to start my brand new
garden. This was my first "real" house with 5 acres!

In Virginia, I finally had some real space to garden.
The day after moving in, I ran to a local nursery, bought $102 worth of plants and began
planting.

But I didn't get very far.

I found out quickly that my house was surrounded by clay hard pan underneath what
appeared to be good soil. If you're not familiar with hard pan, it's soil you can make pottery
out of. Naturally, I was devastated but determined to find a solution.

And that's the beauty of GardenRack. You're not stuck with the soil you happen to live on.
Rather, you control the soil in two 2' x 3' plastic tubs and can have your garden going in a
single afternoon. It no longer matters where you live, how much space you have, or the
composition of the soil.

You'll have perfect loam every time!
A Project That's Easy to Put Together ¡­ In An Afternoon

GardenRack comes with easy-to-follow plans and instructions. And don't worry -- even if
you're all thumbs, you won't have a problem putting it together ¨C that's how simple it is. All
you need are easy-to-find materials like these ¡­

Pressure treated lumber for life-long gardening

Galvanized deck screws and joist hangers

2 plastic two foot by three foot tubs (normally used for mixing cement)

¡­ all available at local home centers, lumberyards or builder's supply stores for about $60
altogether. That's less than the price of planting a tree in your yard.

Plus, you won't need any sophisticated power tools or the skills to read complex plans. I had
an architect design the plans to make them easy to read and follow. Just simple hand and
power tools ¨C a tape measure and pencil, a drill, some screws and nails ¨C are all you'll need.

Don't have a circular saw to cut lumber? That's okay, I don't either. Simply ask your
lumberyard or home center to cut the lumber in the needed dimensions.

The combination of pressure treated lumber and plastic tubs is what gives GardenRack its
durability. It's steady and nearly indestructible. You can leave it outdoors all year long, in all
kinds of weather ¨C and not have to worry about damage. You'll have your garden for years
... and harvests ... to come.

All without bending or kneeling.

Spend a few hours this afternoon and have a garden growing tomorrow.
Add a Trellis and Grow Vertically

A trellis can be attached to any side of the GardenRack to
increase your growing versatility. Plants like tomatoes,
pole beans, any flowering vine like morning glory or
trumpet creeper, and just about any other plant that
grows tall rather than wide is perfect for growing against
the trellis.

And just for ordering, you'll get a special bonus report
¨C FREE ¨C called How to Add a Trellis to Your
GardenRack. It's filled with tips like ¡­

How to build and attach a permanent trellis
in about 30 minutes

How a piece of 2? kitchen string can save
the day ¡­ and your pocketbook

the vine¡ªwithout getting up from your

melon and cucumbers? Think again!

Stop Paying High Prices at the Store
for Organic Produce

Are you as concerned as I am about using chemical insecticides on plants and produce? It
seems like every time I read the paper, a company is being fined for pollution or toxic ground
water.

Large gardens are beautiful. But the more space you have, the more pests you must deal
with. Sometimes, it's just easier to use a chemical pesticide than spending your precious free
time picking bugs off plants. And you know the bugs will win (I think they might work at
night ¡­ while we sleep ¡­ in a secret bug conspiracy), killing off the plants you've nurtured
for months.

But with GardenRack, you can grow anything organically. Its compact size lets you keep
ahead of garden insects and pests in just minutes a day with a shot of water or mild organic
insecticide.

You can grow veggies like lettuce, peas, tomatoes, small squashes, cukes, beans, and
radishes all without chemicals or insecticides. You'll rest easy knowing your family is eating
chemical-free, home-grown produce and you aren't adding toxins to the earth.

Yes, pressure-treated lumber is used to build GardenRack so it will last a long time. But the
roots of the plants never come in contact with the wood so you don't have to worry about
harmful chemicals tainting the soil, your veggies ¡­ and your family.
GardenRack Is For You If:

You've had to give up gardening because of pain and stiffness in your neck, back
or knees

You love to garden, but don't have a lot of room

You've never gardened before but would love to give it try

Love to garden but hate to weed

Have only a few minutes a week to tend a garden ¡­ but want to be able to pick
vine-ripened veggies or cut fresh flowers whenever you want
