Have you ever pushed a wheelbarrow?

Question

Wheelbarrows are commonly used by gardeners as well as construction workers. But I reckon there's a lot of people who've never pushed one

I've done both gardening and construction, so I've pushed them hundreds of times. I don't Think I ever pushed a drink around in one though.

My old one rusted out. I should have bought a new one a couple of years ago. They have more than doubled in price in the post-COVID economy. One that I could get for $49 a couple of years ago is now $118.

Many times. I've actually done physical work before in my life.

I currently own two wheelbarrows - the traditional kind and a two wheeler with a large bucket that holds more stuff. I use that one all the time. Lately, I've been using it to haul mulch from a giant pile next to my driveway to spread over our newly weeded garden.

matchrestore · Answer

I have one in my backyard from correcting negative grade issues around my foundation. It would be in my garage if I could figure out where to put it and still fit everything else in there...

bean2k21 · Answer

I have a rotating push/pull/legs schedule, so the wheelbarrow doesn't really fit in with my regimen. I work my abs on Tuesdays and Thursdays and my back and core on Mondays and Wednesday. Definitely wouldn't mind plowing a little bit though.😉

As a kid I had a toy wheelbarrow. It was great to run it into my brother's knees, and helpful for my excavation work in MY! sandpit. As usual: Granny disapproved.
