Folding Garden Carts

Sunday August 24, 2008

Why would anyone want a folding garden cart, when they could have a sturdy metal wheelbarrow, instead? Well if storage space in the garage and/or storage shed isn't an issue for some people, maybe they wouldn't. But let's let them in on a little secret: the rest of us envy them -- they are in a distinct minority! And folding garden carts can help the rest of us gain some valuable elbow room.

Do you have a storage shed, for example, where a little of this and a lot of that are piled willy-nilly on top of each other? If the owners of such an overcrowded shed were to commission me to create a sign to hang over their shed door, I'd have it emblazoned with the words, "You Never Know." Why? Because when questioned about their clutter, such pack rats often retort that, oh well, you just never know when you're going to need this or that item.

But owning something is one thing, and finding it is another. If "you never know" when you'll be able to find what you need when you need it, then you have some serious storage issues. Eliminating some of your "space hogs" is one way to make some headway in solving the problem. Enter folding garden carts, which take up less space than metal wheelbarrows.
