As we landscaped this summer, we acquired an impressive amount of dirt.  Well, clay really.  Turns out, that’s not easy to get rid of under the best circumstances.  We have to go down seven stairs just to get to the alley to put the dirt in the yard waste bin, too.  So, it was wheelbarrow time.

As we were looking for a wheelbarrow we noticed that most wouldn’t work for us.  Since dirt is usually on the ground, we needed something we could tip forward and push the dirt in to; shovels full of dirt are surprisingly heavy.  With most wheelbarrows you can lean them forward, but they’re all too shallow to hold very much in that position.  Not the Precision Products 5-1/2-Cubic Foot Garden Yard Cart with Spoked Wheels - this one is nice and deep and when tipped lies almost completely on the ground.

The wheelbarrow held up to repeated bumpy trips down concrete steps.  We had no problems filling up to as heavy as we could stand.  I really liked the handle.  Rather than two side handles, the continuous grip gave me more control as I wheeled it to the yard waste bin.  Another of the great features about the wheelbarrow is the price.  I could not believe how much the local home improvement center charged for wheelbarrows.  Unless you’re hauling wet cement, you can’t go wrong with this wheelbarrow.
