Hey all,
I'm considering morphing my business from small design/build to a niche business of container/patio/balcony/rootfop garden business. I've researched all the old threads on container gardens in this site, and wonder if any of you who have done this type of work have a suggestion for a foldable/collapsible cart so i can transport my materials/tools. I've done some google searches but so far have only come up with hand trucks; not what i'm looking for. I need a couple of shelves, possibly grid sides to hang hand tools, and lips around the edges of the shelves so materials don't fall off.
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone, anyone??? thanks!! |

| How about one of those small grocery carts people in the city use? They can get them on and off a city bus. Medical supply companies sell wire/steel carts on wheels- but not collapsible. Good luck! |

| Hmm, can you give some specifics about what you need to transport? It's going to be tough to find something strong that also folds. A Rubbermaid garbage can on its wheeled dolly can carry water, dirt, or a limited number of plants at a time with no spillage at all. But it still doesn't fold. :( |

| Seems like you are stuck with carrying things in your arms anytime there is no elevator. Bouncing over steps with something isn't going to work. Where there is an elevator probably anything that fits would do. |

| I like the idea of the grocery cart thing; why didn't i think of that?? I do have a truck so i guess it doesn't have to be collapsible or foldable, but i thought it would be easier and less cumbersome that way. I was just at a nursery that has a 2-tiered cart for plants; i think i'll ask them where they got theirs. thanks, everyone! Jenny |

| Maybe type "nursery supply" or "supplies horticultural" into a search engine. |

| I went to farmtek.com looking for two tiered carts and found a folding one! http://www.farmtek.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10052&storeId=10001&langId=-1&division=FarmTek&productId=62971 Here's a bunch of carts! http://www.calcarts.com/ I've never dealt with either of these companies. |
