Garden Carts
Garden carts will make any chore or time spent in the garden or greenhouse easier because it provides a more stable way to transport the tools, compost and other gardening necessities to the place they are planted. There are several different styles and types of vehicles used to do this, from larger wheelbarrows or wheeled carts to the ergonomically designed lawn and garden carts that reduce the stress and strain on your back and arms.
Among the items to consider when purchasing a cart to be used in the garden area are the size of the garden and how much you will be using it. If you have a good sized yard with sloping ground, then a garden cart with tires, brakes and a comfortable handgrip is essential to move the plants and produce to and from the garden. Large tires may make the load easier to push or pull, but more solid tires last longer with fewer repairs.
This is one area where forethought and planning make a difference in several ways, including financial, time saving and lowering the physical stress on the gardener by working smarter. Carts will often hold more compost and be easier to handle then wheelbarrows, especially if they have a door that can be lifted to empty the soil out just where you need it. Wheelbarrows often do not have a lower center of gravity like well built and designed garden carts do; therefore they will cause more stress when being used.
Lawn and garden carts can be built of metal, wood or tough weather resistant plastic that will last a long time. When purchasing a garden cart, make certain it is comfortable to use and will not be too large or small for the area you are using it in. One way to make certain it will work is to keep the paths between your rows in the garden at an even distance from each other.
Gardening is a great way to get exercise for your body and mind when you figure out just the perfect spot for those columbine or new tomatoes you are planning on planting. Using a garden cart will help to make the job of building, maintaining and enjoying your garden easier because it will let you spend more time in the garden itself instead of searching for the Advil bottle for the aches and pains. Some types of garden carts are better made then others, it is better to buy one that is a bit more money and will last longer than to have a lawn and garden cart that breaks down just when you are depending on it most.
