It's fair to say that while gardening is both fun and relaxing, it can be hard work - and even painful at times. Kneelers help to eliminate some of that pain. By cushioning the ground underneath you, reaching those plants that are low down on the ground or in pots becomes more comfortable, and you can kneel for a lot longer without hurting yourself while you work. Another benefit of kneelers is that the material that they are made of is less coarse than the ground. This means that, as you move, your trousers are much less likely to get damaged or ripped as they are not being scraped on the rough ground.
