Wheelbarrow
What can a wheelbarrow do to help me?
A wheelbarrow is a safe and easy way to transport your tools around the garden so that you can do fewer steps to and from the garage or shed to get what you need.
You can also use a wheelbarrow to lift heavier garden waste to the green bin, using your whole body by bending your knees and keeping your back straight, rather than relying on just upper body strength.
For more stability, choose a wheelbarrow with two wheels rather than one.
A wheelbarrow is useful if you have upper limb weakness, pain, or fatigue.
