...Digging, weeding or mowing the lawn for half an hour reduced men's risk of failing to live up to expectations in bed by more than a third, the survey found.
The same study showed other forms of moderate exercise, such as dancing and cycling, could have similar benefits.
Men who spend even more time in the vegetable patch can more than halve their risk of impotence, researchers at the Medical University of Vienna found in their study.
"Erectile function can be maintained even by low, regular physical activity," concludes the report. "Energy expenditure of as little as 1,000 calories a week reduces the risk. Doctors should use these findings to encourage their patients to do more physical training and adopt a healthier lifestyle."
Impotence is thought to affect one in ten men in Britain at some stage in their life.
Around 30 per cent of cases are due to psychological factors, such as depression or pressure at work.
But the remaining 70 per cent have some underlying physical cause, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
Some doctors believe it is an early sign of heart disease as reduced blood flow to the genitals is a sign of clogged arteries.
Two-thirds of sufferers become depressed.

A TEENAGER has been asked to pay $40,000 in damages after allegedly switching on 80 water mains in a Gold Coast high-rise, turning stairwells into waterfalls.
Swan Charles Campbell, 19, faced Southport Magistrate's Court charged with wilful damage over the December 10 incident at the 40-storey Circle on Cavill high-rise in the heart of Surfers Paradise.
According to the police report, CCTV footage shows Campbell walking into the building bone dry before later emerging soaking wet, The Courier-Mail reports.
After 80 water mains across both of the building's two towers had been turned on, water started gushing through light fittings and the elevator shafts, while the emergency stairwells "were like waterfalls".
Water even started running down the outside of the building.
Facing a charge of wilful damage, Campbell has been asked to pay a bill for damages totalling more than $40,000.

Police said a man showed a gun and tried to rob a bank, but he wasn't in one. The Jessamine South Elkhorn Water District has offices in what was formerly a branch of Farmers Bank. City police spokesman Scott Harvey told the Lexington Herald-Leader a man came into the building Tuesday, showed a pistol and demanded money.
When an employee told the man the office really didn't have any money, the confused would-be robber replied, "I know you have money. It's a bank."
He was told it was no longer a bank and he left with nothing.
