With a very large garden to look after we own two wheelbarrows and both are frequently in use. The larger of the two is a County Coaster galvanised wheelbarrow, it has an 85 litre tray, a traditional look about it and is my favourite by far. We bought it a few years ago shortly before we embarked on a landscaping project where we needed to move a great deal of soil in order to create French drains (stone filled channels under the ground) as well as re-shape and level a large part of our garden. The Coaster wheelbarrow served us well throughout this project and since then has been an excellent wheelbarrow for all kinds of general use in the garden and around the ...  Read the complete review

With the recently improved weather I decided it was time to get out into my garden to start preparing for the spring. We have several trees in the garden and clearing the leaves is always a massive job. A little bribery ensured I enlisted to help of my boys! I don't mind raking up the leaves, but as I have a back problem, bending and putting them into the wheelbarrow is difficult and painful. Luckily my youngest son likes this job and was happy to dig the wheelbarrow out of hibernation from the shed! I think good quality garden equipment is important and always buy the best I can afford. With this in mind I opted for a traditional galvanised steel wheel barrow ...  Read the complete review

I do a lot of DIY jobs around the house and also do a lot of gardening. My old wheelbarrow had served me well for years but it was long past its best, rusty and on its last legs. Pushing it was getting harder and it was rickety. I invested in a County Coaster Galvanised Steel Barrow as recommended to me by a good friend. Personally, I am very glad I took his advice. It cost me £55 but I htink it is money well spent. The barrow belly will hold from 85 - 100 litres of general household stuff (medium weight) inlcuding my pots and plants and as I have been clearing out the shed and demolishing it to make way for a new one, I have ordered a skip and put the shed ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this wheelbarrow about a year ago as me and my family had decided we wanted to put a pond in our back garden. Not only did this involve a lot of earth having the be moved, but we also had to break up a lot of concrete from where our old driveway had been covered with turf. It was therefore essential e had something to ferry all of this waste away from the site. I purchased mine from B&Q and at the time they were on special offer so it cost me around £35, although looking around now the average price for this product seems to be about £50. This wheelbarrow has a 90 litre capacity, which means that it can hold a fair amount of earth and rubble ...  Read the complete review

Well its been a lovely day weather wise and its that time of year to get in the garden, which is what I have been doing all morning. It's also the time of year to get things in order as with this weather we have ben having things have grown at a ridiculous pace and the hedges in my garden have been in need of cutting back for quite a while now, but you can't cut the hedges back until the birds have stopped nesting and the fledgelings flown the nest. So, you can imagine how much of the hedges have grown in that time. When I had to cut them today they took quite a while and I had piles and piles of hedge trimmings which needed moving to the compost pile and ...  Read the complete review
