I've seen tips for doing housework, traveling etc. Does anyone have tips for doing gardening while living with moderate to severe COPD?
I do garden quite a bit. I get up early when it is generally cooler and work in the morning and evening. I sit on a caddy and it carries my supplies as well! And don’t forget to pace yourself!!!!! Happy gardening!!!!! 🥰
You might want to wear a mask because of the fungus that exists in soil and fertilizer. Many people with COPD like to garden, but it's wise to wear a mask to avoid inhaling stuff you really don't want.
I do gardening. I do a little until the heavy breathing appears. I stop and relax until I can do it again. Good to have a small chair for a break. Bending and crouching is not easy for long periods. We have a lot of time, relax and go slow. I have trouble getting dressed in the morning!
I do what I feel able to do. It's easy to get lazy tho, and I try not to fall into that trap.
Yes as Ocean said...short bouts with rest and not when it's too hot out
