A Day of Gardening, Without the Pain. Dig Longer and More Comfortably; New Tool Makes Digging Easier.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., March 28 /PRNewswire/ -- A day of digging can leave you tired and sore. If your foot slips while digging, your shins may be bruised or cut on a corner of the tool.

That was that type of day that led to the creation of TrenchFoot(R). "Now, the arches of my feet are not sore after digging," says Glenn Vanoni, co-inventor of TrenchFoot, available at http://www.trenchfootinc.com/

While TrenchFoot does not make the ground softer or your tools sharper, its step protects your foot from the stresses of digging. TrenchFoot is a one piece attachment that fits on most shovels, spades and forks. It attaches in seconds, without tools. The design fits over "D" and "T" handles as wide at 6 1/2 inches as well as straight handled tools up to 1 3/4 inches thick.

Fiberglass reinforced nylon makes the tool very strong. While durable, TrenchFoot weighs less than one pound. Once attached, TrenchFoot provides a non-slip step. Perforations in the step help prevent build-up of debris. Force applied to TrenchFoot's step is in line with the handle of the tool preventing torque to one side. TrenchFoot's yellow color means that you can't lose it in the yard or on the job site.

"The ball of your foot was not made to drive pressure into a thin edge of metal," according to Joe Lamp'l. Joe is the man behind the joegardenercompany (http://www.joegardener.com/). Joe is a certified landscape professional and the host of DIY channel's Fresh From the Garden and PBS's GardenSMART. Joe is author of the new gardening book, "Over the Fence".

Joe notes that after installing TrenchFoot, "an ample, non-slip footpad replaces a narrow, off center strip of metal for driving the blade into the earth." Joe chose TrenchFoot as a "Best Of The Must Haves" gardening tool accessory for 2006, calling it a "smart resource for better (and safer) gardening."

All of the above makes TrenchFoot The Next Step In Garden Tools(TM).

TrenchFoot is available on line at http://www.trenchfootinc.com/ for $9.99 plus shipping and handling.
