Garden 'donkey' / carry sheet / tarpaulin
Rectangular sheet, handles at 4 corners, about 6 x 4 feet:
there seems to be no consensus on what to call it. Almost the most useful 'tool' in my woodland garden. The one I bought 15 years ago was subjected to very heavy abuse, carrying heavy prunings, tree branches, brambles etc etc. It gave up the ghost only 3 years ago. I have since worn out (torn) at least 4 of its replacements. Where can I can get one as robust and hard wearing as my old one? -- Paul Moynagh |

Why not get hold of a couple of the bags they use for bulk sand etc, they
are now not allowed to re use them so should be plenty looking for a home. I know they don't open out flat but I have used them for grass clippings and also for the product from my chipper, and have left both in the bags for several months with no effect on the bags. And the price is good. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |
