I used a Garden Way cart for many years and love it for
what it does. However ,one thing it can't do that a wheelbarrow can is go down
narrow rows after planting. I would think that the 2 wheeled barrows would have
the same problem. And when the rows are 100' ft long that is a ways to go
with mulch, compost or what have you. This Spring I am battling significant arm/
muscle problems from wheelbarrow work and shoveling loads of compost. Perhaps we
need to have some ergonomic advice on these tasks for shorter women ( I am only
5'2").
About 5 years ago I replaced the garden way cart with a lawn
tractor and attached wagon. Works super for me since it is all up hill
from the field to the house/cooler. I am not getting any
younger!
