Well, Bill, I concur completely about the sled and the bicycle-wheel
"gardenway" cart.
But, I find a wheelbarrow works better in tight places and is better for
me, at any rate, when hauling soil - most of the spots I dig in, my carts
won't fit in...so, IMHO, there's a need for both the cart(s) and the
barrow.
