Post #4031714

I made a new bed around some plants today tieing them together and making it easier to mow. After getting rid of the grass and cutting the landscape fabric to fit my shape, I was on my knees spreading the mulch when knelt on the open scissors buried in the grass with one knee and as I scooted over to reach and spread the mulch impaled the inside of my other knee. Quite a deep puncture wound with a huge egg shaped swelling around it now. I'm getting a tetanus shot tomorrow to be on the safe side since it's been years. Accidents sure can happen in the most unlikely situations. Anyone else been injured while gardening?
