Gardening is great. Getting outdoors, feeling the sun on your face, the composition of the soil in your hands, the faint smell of honeysuckle in the air, who doesn’t love the idea of gardening? You rent a rototiller from Home Depot or Lowes, cordon a portion of your back yard off with some paint sticks and twine, dig up the grass and let that rototiller rip. Hours later, with completely numb hands (thanks to the rototiller), you’re walking back to your house realizing that the apple tree still needs to be trimmed and your bushes look less like perfect spheres and more like a Dali painting. You go to the Big Box Department store and everything they sell looks like it was sized to fit a lumberjack or a Viking, “I wanted to garden, not reenact medieval warfare”, you think to yourself. Far From Tall has you covered, we’ve found the best products that fit your size and will make you a better gardener. You have enough on your plate already with a project that is supposed to be fun and relaxing. Far From Tall reviews the best gardening accessories for short statured people so that you can have a green thumb without a black and blue body.

The Corona GT 3070 Extendable Handle Cultivator features an 18″- 32″ reach, perfect for both short adults and children. The extendable handle cultivator is also great when dealing with multiple garden bed types (raised bed vs traditional).
The telescoping handle allows for greater maneuverability without worrying about having to choke up on the handle and hit yourself in the face with the end, just shorten the handle and you are good to go.
A fully heat treated head allows for increased durability, perfect for gardeners with rocks or tough roots in their soil. The heat treating is not all that has been done to the material components of this cultivator. The exterior also features a carbon dioxide coating to prevent rust and corrosion while also improving the appearance of the cultivator by not allowing paint chipping to occur, ensuring years of trouble-free use and good looks (not everyone is in to shabby-chic!… just always comes out shabby when I do it).
