Handy folding garden wheelbarrow:

I just put a picture up of this little wonderful wheelbarrow.
We used it alot this summer.

Given that many people visiting here have some physical limitations, and cannot lift things, or carry groceries in from the car, etc., you might find this helpful.

The link is on the picture profile description. It is more expensive at other places besides Amazon. We've had ours for 5 yrs or so and it never fails to attract attention at the marina while we load our stuff. It is really handy for bird seed bags, bags of dirt, and groceries for us. But we move wood and rocks with it too!

I like that for its size, but have trouble with wheel barrows - I'm wobbly myself, hard to balance those things.

I got a Scott's Yard cart a couple years ago for gardening. Maybe too big for some jobs, but really handy for what I need. Moves SO easily over a bumpy yard - with four decent sized wheels, handle high enough to make the load seem like nothing. The cart itself doesn't weigh much, which helps.

Prior, I used an old wheel barrow then went to a big wagon. Both were way too hard to move.

Another thing helps me a LOT - mini sized tools. Fiskars makes pint sized clippers, rakes, shovels, you name it. A fraction of the weight, every bit as durable. I have a kit in a cse - I can carry the whole thing. Lovelovelove.

We like it because it FOLDS up and is very light weight.

It, however, is too small for us at home. We use it mostly for going back and forth from the boat to the car, vice versa and also going from the boat, over the rocky path to the house.

I will hold 4 plastic baggies of groceries/trip. Or one 25lb bag of
bird seed, things like that.

Oh, I can think of all kinds of things that would be good for - doing laundry, either home or at the laudromat, for one. I'd have loved having one back when I had to lug my wash from the car across the parking lot into the building, then back - and into the house.

Or if you had 1st floor laundry, to lug clothes back to the downstairs bedrooms etc.

You could use it to clean - pick up kids toys, dump in the toy box. Pick up stuff out of place as you clean, and put it where it belongs as you pass by - I do that now with a laundry basket lol.
