  • The Ergonomic Gardener - Humantech Meets Radius Garden Tools

    09/2/11
    Humantech, Inc. meets Radius® Garden Tools just in the nick of time.  Sky-high corn and tall sunflower stalks are just a few signs that harvest is near.  For some, gardening is a spring or summer activity, but for professional farmers or avid gardeners it is a year-long commitment.    According to the USDA Agricultural and Marketing Service, as of 2010 there has been a 16 percent increase of farmers markets operating within the United States.  The numbers continue to climb as people become more aware of all the health implications from pesticides and hormones in the produce we eat.  Organic and home-grown food may provide our insides with “whole” ingredients, but if we’re not careful, they could tear apart our outsides.
