“I asked the inventor, Neil, if this tool would help my bad back and aging body. I was 89. The next year I called him to thank him for allowing me to continue my passion. After spending 4 hours removing and dividing my Irises, I still feel great. I’m now 91 and use the EarthLifter everywhere in my active garden.”

"What got me looking for you was standing in my rather large garden looking at the place where I had the corn this past summer.

"What got me looking for you was standing in my rather large garden looking at the place where I had the corn this past summer. I knew I had to get in there and dig out the corn stumps but I'd already been digging out the old tomato plants and peppers and my back was pretty much overdone for the day. I worked pretty hard down there for harvest and cleanup and didn't take enough time off to let my back recover.
I got some help from the folks at Farm Show; Jenn sent me a link to Jim Ruen's article that I remembered and the rest you know from your side. The tool arrived in good shape and it wasn't but a couple of days before the rain cleared off for a bit and the sun came out and I went out to slay some corn stumps.
Wow. THAT was the tool I needed! I got through the rows of stumps in a jiffy. My back didn't hurt at all. So, I dug up the last of the season's chard plants. There was an area nearby filled with some rather tall weeds that I had been gradually pulling and digging out over the course of the summer. I'd gotten a lot of the weeds out but kind of ran out of steam to get the last patch. Looked like about three days’ work to me. I took a look at the ELT, checked in with my back to see how it was feeling, and went over and in about two hours I'd cleaned out the last of the weeds.
I'll admit my back was a little tired after that, but it was "sit down and enjoy a beer" tired and not "hand me the muscle relaxers and leave me in peace" tired.
My problems are that I've got arthritis developing in my spine; I have a little nerve damage as well. That teams up to give me stiff hips and a painful back if I'm not really careful how I do things. The ELT lets me "work smarter" and is a very effective tool for digging, tilling and weeding. I appreciate the ability to use it one-handed as well. My wife grabbed it to loosen up some soil in her garden, and she also says it's a fantastic help.
I am very happy with the ELT! I also want to thank you and your team very much. This would not have worked out if you all hadn't gone completely above and beyond any expectation. It's given me a piece of my life back.
