Sherryl,
I got a new cart for Christmas this past year that works great. It is deep,
so holds up to 4 big bags of mulch or soil. It has a good center of gravity
so is not to heavy to lift on it's wheels for pushing around. The wheels
are the size of a large wagon, so only sink into my sandy soil if it is
freshly dug up (about 1.25 inches wide, 6 inches across). It even has an
area for small pots or large drinks at the handle. It is a Sears Craftsman
garden cart. All disclaimers apply, I just love it.
Oh, and I am fairly short at 5'3" with less muscle than I should have, so it
really must be easy to handle if I can do it. <G>
