  • Wheelbarrow advice

    We perhaps need a small wheelbarrow for mostly moving compost. We're getting to the stage of not being able to lift big bags, plus when shovelling compost from the compost bin it would be easier in a barrow than a trug. We've got a path to wheel a barrow along, and don't need a huge capacity. Is there a reasonably priced one that maybe could be left outside most of the year? Are 'non-metal' ones any good?
    I see there's a useful looking garden barrow but it's nearly £90!

    Not sure if this would help, but my MIL used to use a cheap porters trolley to move bags of compost from her car to the garden.
    I’m pretty sure she also had a plastic bin she’d half fill with her homemade compost, then transport that on the trolly. Light enough so she could tip it over and upend it in situ.

      I'd probably buy one that the bags fell through the handles gap!

      I think a wheelbarrow would be best, more versatile. I just wondered if there were any good value garden barrows, or plastic ones, and does and don't.
