So what exactly does one use a truck for?

Carrying all your stuff.

You see, a truck can hold a lot more than you can get in your pocket.

Also, amongst the gardening communty, possession of a truck is something of status symbol.

I may leave mine parked on the front lawn, so neighbours can see that I have a truck.

I expect that Monty has more than one truck.

Gotcha. So like a whellbarrow really. I see now. Any benefits to a truck over a wheelbarrow? I know it's a simple question, but I was getting a wheelbarrow this year. Wondered if a truck would be better?

I still have a wheelbarrow. Very useful.

I wouldn't want to put dirty soil in my nice green truck.

The postman called at 1.25 with a plop of e-mails

As I see it you push a wheelbarrow and pull a truck-a wheelbarrow has one wheel a truck has four-might be more to go wrong

You can't get pink trucks, or lilac, or maroon, or bright blue

I have had manure in my wheelbarrow now - cleaned it up after though

A truck should be more stable - a consideration if buying something to ride on.

It is possible to push someone sitting in a wheelbarrow, but a bit risky, IMO.

Also, you need to lift a wheelbarrow. A truck does not require any lifting, so can move heavier loads.

Right, I am going erecting ouside!

Have a good erection.

Driving wheelbarrows is tricky, and not intuitive, because if you want to turn left, you actually move the handles to the right. And vice versa.

The same considerations apply to driving supermarket trollies. I believe that 76% of the fatalities in supermarkets are caused by careless drivers.

We are a 2 wheelbarrow family- only one failed its MOT

I do have a sack trolley and a luggage trolley though

I have a Gardeners World Live collapsable shopping trolley. Ideal for carrying a few small plants, when shopping at your GC, or around the garden. Only £10. I usually buy several each time I visit, to give as Christmas presents.

I think Gary you have won trolley top trumps-unless anyone uses roller bladers or skates to transport themselves around the garden

I have a folding wheelbarrow.

I have one like Gary for shopping at Garden shows  and a little, more or less broken ,sack trolley

And a bright orange wheelbarrow with a big crack in it and a flat tyre

I've got a builders wheelbarrow, had it for years! Getting a bit rough now as bloke borrows it sometines to mix concrete in etc. But if we're talking about gadgets that are life improving, check this out: http://www.rubble-mate.co.uk/. Also easily strong enough to put big full pots pots on and drag them round, using the handles. 
How is everyone?
