garden carts


A word on garden carts...the type with solid rubber tires usually come with mag wheels rather than spokes.  At Eagle Heights, we broke 4 of 6 carts with mag wheels during their first season.  they don't hold up under a full cart load of dirt if you try to turn on a dime or push it slowly along an uneven path.  I forget the manufacturer, but they told us that these carts are really meant for boat docks.  Stick with spoke wheels (which unfortunately all use neumatic tires with inner tubes).
