We bought a new garden cart last week and I think it's the best thing we've bought for a long time. I have trouble lifting and balancing a wheel barrow sometimes so I've been looking for something I can use in the garden that will allow me to load up a pair of loppers, a bucket, watering can and secateurs, and still have enough room for prunings and rubbish that has to be moved.
Of course it will give a ride to grandchildren. Above you can see Jamie seeing the sites with Opa at the helm. What is it with grandchildren and carts? Put them together and there is always fun to be had. We have a lot of pot plants on the front verandah and when they need to go to the green house for repotting or for a rest, I need a safe way of getting them there. Loading them into the wheelbarrow is just dangerous and they fall over when I lift the wheelbarrow. This garden cart has a flat bottom with flip down sides so it's easy to load pots, even the large heavy ones. Incredibly, the cart holds 450kg or 1000lbs.
It will hold a fair bit, which you can see in the photo above. On the day after we bought it, I loaded up the cart to transport all the grocery shopping inside. Usually it takes a few trips in and out to the car to unload it but this simplified it all.
I wonder what form of backyard transport you use in your home. Maybe I'm late to notice these carts and they're all over the place. :- )
