Tool Time: yard cart

In one of my spring garden columns in The Sun, I gave a list of my favorite garden tools, and I included a garden cart. Smaller than a wheelbarrow and easier to maneuver, it is perfect for carrying tools, something to drink and garden waste.

Here's a look at a couple of carts that you can find at Sam's Club this summer, or at Lifetime.com.

Sam's Club Yard CartThis Yard Cart (SRP: $179.98) serves as a heavy-duty wheelbarrow that converts to a towable yard trailer in a matter of seconds. It can be pulled behind all types of lawn tractors, and is great for transporting large loads of topsoil, lumber and building materials.

 

 

Sam's Club wheelbarrowThis new wheelbarrow (SRP: $89.99) features a patented design that distributes more weight to the wheels and less to the user, helping to lighten the load when wheeling potting soil, flowers, yard supplies and garden tools.

Both the Yard Cart and Wheelbarrow feature tubs made from 100 percent recycled material.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
