Hi Clifford,

My father told me that spades used to shovel the smelly stuff are always shiny.

And my mate's wife, an AI, always waggled her boots into the dung heap, to keep her feet warm.

Isn't petrol a by-product of the plastics industry ... take care what you wish for.

If you can get a Garden Way with bicycle tires in the UK, then do so.  They last for decades. Perfect product.

I found that standing in silage while feeding cattle off the back of a trailer kept my feet warm in the winter of 1962/3.

Metal for me. Plastic ones just provide a huge contribution to the excessive amount of plastic we already produce and use 

Its hardly the same as single use plastic is it ? and do plastic wheel barrows really add that much of a huge contribution to excess plastic    I agree single use plastic should be curtailed where possible

I just think every place I can easily avoid using it I will do. The amount of plastic in a plastic wheelbarrow is quite significant. I would be surprised if your local recycling centre would take it as recyclable material and it will probably end up in general landfill (even if you have used it for 10 years or more). Each to their own, as I say I would always buy a metal one. It's easier for me to repair as well.
