Title: Mums Birthday / Retirement pressie....
Post by: Shropshirelass on February 05, 2014, 10:25:48 pm
So for my mother for her birthday & retirement I thought to make her "Coughs" & my life a little easier I'd get her this & fill it with Gardening supplies from poundland or somewhere simalar to keep her occupied ;D ;D ;D

I have one of those sitting doing nothing. I used it when I had the allotment to carry goat manure to the plot.

I'm not thinking manure " Mad goat lady of madley" but I am thinking of lugging wood & livestock feed & other things - won't use it for feeding as I'll probably get mobbed  :) :) but it's still something that will come in handy x

We have one, OH attaches it to the back of the ride on mower, it is excellent, but quite heavy to pull by hand when full and coming up our steep garden!

They are brilliant , normally over £100, we have one that was donated when a neighbour moved away. they did not grease and nuts and bolts when they put it together so the steering is now broken, (probably through overloading on my part) some of the welds are cracked too, but we have made it work hard. £50 is a good price for one. :thumbsup:

That was my OH's job and it was on the flat. Freshly manured straw is very heavy though.
