RE: moving a garden

Sue,
Come visit and Monica or I can let you see all sleds you want. We had one that I tossed this year that I used to drag rocks around!

Sounds like a great idea -- but I live in western Oregon -- never even seen a sled up close. Wonder what else would work?

 The one piece of advice I will give you about moving a garden is
 purchase a CHILD'S SLED (actually several).

 I've moved several gardens and needed something I could store pots in
 that wouldn't leak and could be easily moved.  Voila - kid's sleds.

 Not the round saucers, the plastic ones shaped like bullets with
 upright sides.  I bought a few at rummage sales for very
 cheap (a buck
 or two) and plopped my pots into them whilst digging the
 plants at the
 old house and loaded them into the trunk for the trip to the
 new house.

 Once at the new house they could easily be pulled into the
 garage (out
 of the sun) or out into the driveway for mass watering and sunlight.
 Once I determined where the beds would be, I just dragged the sled to
 the bed and planted them . . . a multi-purpose use for an innocuous
 object!

 If you only spend a buck or two, you can toss them after the plants
 are in the ground, or give them to the new neighbor kids!

 Best of luck with your move!
