    Thanks Kethry
    I'm going to have a look at my local Aldi's tomorrow...argh! I can't! I'm off to see my friend in London. Maybe I'll ask my Mum to look for me. We have two Aldi's near us so there should be one wheelbarrow thing between them hopefully. Thanks but Manchester is no good for me!
    Thanks also to Alibo. I didn't realise there were so many Travis Perkins in my area! Will also have a look there. I should hopefully be moving my compost soon!!

    If you do go and buy one, get one that's galvanised, not plastic coated. With use the plastic coating comes off, and it will just rust through.

    You can't beat a FORT wheel barrow ,very very light easy to push even when full,very durable and does not rust.I bought one when they were first sold in the UK many years ago and it has been in daily use carrying anything from grass clippings to concrete , rocks and engines ..I went for the type that had the narrower body which goes through doorways better.it has a pneumatic tyre which I recommend injecting OKO puncture sealant into (never had a puncture and when the first tyre wore out it looked like a hedgehog inside with all the thorns that had gone through it)... If you take the higher initial cost against the longevity ..its truely money saving

    Edit: Plastic body,plastic wheel centre and two sets of axle holes to adjust the position of the wheel .
