They should be in the aisle with the leather gloves. They're cheap, held on with velcro, and you can move around easily without scooting a pad. I even use them for weeding, although we do have foam pads as well because they're better in the summer. The knee pads can get hot and aren't comfortable when you're wearing shorts. I bought a couple dozen pool float boards from the dollar store several years ago. Most of them are garden pads now.

I bought a knee board. It will be used in my garden too. alfredo Mar 2013 #4

Pines do. The cones won't open to release the seeds without fire. talkingmime Mar 2013 #38

Usually the parent has died back for the dry season. alfredo Mar 2013 #41
