RE: wagons and carts

Kitty - I must have the same cart or one close to it.  Ours has
removable sides.   It's a great cart - very strong, can take several
hundred pounds I believe.    The only problem I have is one that no cart
will ever really address.  Our property isn't flat!  Some of the grades
are quite a challenge when you're trying to move a loaded cart of any
type, so I find myself making many trips with a sparsely loaded cart
when I'm moving soil or mulch or heavy plants.  For just trudging around
hand tools - I vote for a good old plastic pickle bucket.

Jesse mentioned her gardening wagon.  What do the rest of you use?

Many years ago I bought a very low, square, shallow, 2 wheeled garden
cart that I love. It holds a lot and I like the fact that I don't have
to lift things too high to get them in. I also bought one of those
standard 2 wheel carts that are stackable (easy for the retailer to
ship) but I hated that thing. Always hit the front of my ankles on it
when I walked behind it and the shape only held deep things well. Got
rid of that in my last garage sale.


This year I bought another cart I reallllllly like. It's more of a
wagon, but I didn't get the sides with it. It's a green metal mesh - not
a springy mesh, but a steel-cut-out mesh so that wet stuff will drain.
Four wheels and a pull handle. I love the fact that I don't have to tip
it to move it like my first favorite cart. It has wide wheels and
carries a load well. Great for moving pots around. In fact, it's the
same cart they use at a local nursery.
