Wooden, Metal, And Portable Garden Carts To Help You
I never thought I would take gardening seriously but a month into it, I knew I needed more than just the basic gardening tools. Now I have two different garden carts in the tool shed, one for clearing up and one for planting. Whether you are a serious gardener or planting for fancy, a garden cart is a must-have gardening tool in the garden. Even if you have a small garden or a larger one, there is at least one garden cart that's just right for you. This handy garden tool has changed so much to make up for the needs of growers like you.

3. Multi-Purpose Portable Garden Cart
A handy garden cart that's both interesting and exciting, it functions both as a tool storage than a cart. It's got compartment and slots to help you organize your gardening equipment. But most exciting at is the sink that comes along with it where you can wash your hands before the dirt in your hands thickens.
4. Wooden Farm Wheelbarrow
This old timer is one classic garden cart which you no longer see in modern homes and garden. Perhaps you'll find this in a garden more as a decorative than a functioning cart. You will be likely to repurpose this as a planter once it wears out with all the gardening hauls. And that is what's great with wooden garden tools.
5. Classic Wooden Garden Cart
You may think that this is just another wooden garden cart but when hauling potted flowering plants, a taller and more stable garden cart should be employed. This garden cart with bigger wheels will best do the job. When you're not hauling potted plants, you can just leave them in this garden cart as well as a decorative.
6. Classic Wooden Garden Cart
These classic garden carts are just elegant and charming in the garden, I just can't get enough of them. This one, for example, brings me to the good old colonial times when gardening wasn't just a pastime but a way of life. A lifestyle which I would love to be in and which I try to.
