RE: wagons and carts

My favorite wagon is just that...an old, rusty child's red wagon...it is
easy to pull around with the long handle, carries a ton of weight...it's
not good on slopes I know because of tipping but since my property is
pretty much flat, it's not a problem. I do have a large two wheeled cart
that tips, but I mostly use that for hauling stuff to the compost pile.
I saw one of those metal cut-out mesh wagons in a gardening mag.
recently and really liked the look of it...am thinking that is what I
want for Christmas this year. :-) Hard to believe it's time to start
thinking of that already!

Subject: [CHAT] wagons and carts

Jesse mentioned her gardening wagon. What do the rest of you
use?<br><br>Many years ago I bought a very low, square, shallow, 2
wheeled garden<br>cart that I love. It holds a lot and I like the fact
that I don't have<br>to lift things too high to get them in. I also
bought one of those<br>standard 2 wheel carts that are stackable (easy
for the retailer to<br>ship) but I hated that thing. Always hit the
front of my ankles on it<br>when I walked behind it and the shape only
held deep things well. Got<br>rid of that in my last garage
sale.<br><br><br>This year I bought another cart I reallllllly like.
It's more of a<br>wagon, but I didn't get the sides with it. It's a
green metal mesh - not<br>a springy mesh, but a steel-cut-out mesh so
that wet stuff will drain.<br>Four wheels and a pull handle. I love the
fact that I don't have to tip<br>it to move it like my first favorite
cart. It has wide wheels and<br>carries a load well. Great for moving
pots around. In fact, it's the<br>same cart they use at a local
nursery.<br><br><br>Kitty<br>> Pam <br>> laughed when I pulled my
gardening wagon out to work...shovel, rake, <br>> mulch...oh yes...and a
huge box of Kleenex.<br>> <br>> Jesse Rene' Bell<br>> Claremore,
