When not working in the garden, take the time to read about your back problem. Understanding your back's condition can further help you determine if sitting on the ground is for you, how to position your spine and the length of time you can safely spend at such a low level.
For example, if you have disk problems, rounding your back may cause pain or strain. If you have facet joint problems, arching will likely be uncomfortable. This is why you should move gently between arching and rounding, paying careful attention to how each position makes your back feel.Articles on Common Back Problems
