At work we have a number of staff, both male and female, who have been busy planting beds and borders or various sizes, positions and heights. They carry this work out for 8 hours a day and for about 6 - 8 weeks. Needless to say they end up with (occasionally serious) back problems.

Does anyone have any 'best practice' for this activity. All responses gratefully received.

Have you tried the Royal Horticultural Society or Kew gardens?
