Wheelbarrow Caddy !!

When I'm gardening I have a drink with me, a shovel a long handle hoe, trowels, gloves, etc and all this stuff in my wheelbarrow, or my pocket. I was wishing I had a caddy to kind of organize all this and keep every tool handy instead of digging through empty pots, and other stuff in the barrow to find something I need.

Voila'!!
It's called "Burro" Buddy. Barrow buddy would've been better but, I digress.

A bit pricey but I got me one coming from Amazon.😁 Made in USA as well.

I'm so relieved to find it !! I usually have to carry a bucket with me to keep my small tools in and every time I put a trowel back into the bucket, my Gatoraide bottle gets dirt on it !! Now I'll have a holder for it and the center compartment will hold my cell phone. Normally I keep it in my back pocket but, after bending down, the phone works it's way up and out of my pocket and into the dirt !! 🙄
This is made by a small family company and nobody else is making anything similar, as of yet . 😃
 
I always lose stuff... always without fail. I have to get Zigs to help me find it all usually, and if there's rain coming it can create a big panic. Secateurs buried under a heap of thorny rose prunings, bloody weeding hook at the bottom of a bucket full of weeds, digging fork hiding behind a shrub (usually the evergreen one :rolleyes: clippers (pointy bit down) in the long grass, and brain hiding in a dark hole 🥴 there's not a lot of hope.
 
I don't use the barrow much, only when it is a real lot of something, and then I would want all of it. Heavy stuff usually gets moved on a sack barrow, things like split wood for the fire I walk down the garden a bucket at a time, I don't get enough walking in and top to bottom of the garden is 200 steps, so that's an extra 400 for each bucket, about 1,200 a day. Phone goes in my pocket, firstly it counts my steps, secondly it is always in reach if I do have an accident. It is obviously great for some, not for me thank you.

Walking I can't do a lot more of than I'm doing already. I broke my back in '92 and have a missing disc, sciatica and arthritis in my back. I try to gather all that I would need for whatever I'm doing and take it all with me. This way I can start in one place and work my way around the garden a bit at a time. This saves me steps and keeps the amount of "traipsing" back to the potting shed down to a minimum. 😄

I know this sounds absurd, but seriously... I would not feel at home if I didn"t spend half my time chasing down stuff all over the place. " Jeez!! Where the hell did I put it!!? I just had the damn thing in my hand a minute ago" Its just who I am, just gotta accept it. Beside, ME... I would misplace the whole damn cart anyway, then I'd have nothing.
 
It came !!
Of course it got delivered AFTER I finished working in the garden today !!🙄 😁

Perhaps you should invest in a sniffer dog @Tetters. :)
