I have a cheap plastic fold-up one from Lidl, don't expect it to last too long, but has been useful at the allotment for collecting compost, wood chip, manure. I find it very light, so do small loads. Also used it last summer to wheel produce home (felt a bit silly, but who cares). OH (big strong man) always moans about my wheelbarrow and borrows a strong one from another allotment and fills it with about 4 times the amount I do in my plastic one, but at least I don't get backache and can lift it. To summarise think the plastic one is OK for 'ladies' especially 'old ladies'. ;D ;D ;D ;D
