Have you ever seen a motorized wheelbarrow? Wow I could have done with one of these last summer when I hauled stones of brick from an old wall out of my garden last summer. I can tell you a 100 yard walk with a wheelbarrow full of bricks does no good for your back.

A motorized wheelbarrow may also be known as a micro dumper/micro digger or toe-hoe, it has 4 wheels and a hydraulic tipping system.

The first motorized wheelbarrow was introduced in 1986 and had 2 wheels like the convential wheelbarrows we are used to seeing. This though obviously had to be supported by the user and was not very user friendly hence the development of a 4 wheel electric powered wheelbarrow.

Muck truck has become the most popular micro dumper (pedestrian). It is a 4-wheel drive and the user walks behind it. The machine is capable of shifting upto 500 lbs of material and it can navigate most surfaces/terrains. This baby is ideal for a landscaper or gardener it copes easy with anything you throw at it - mulch, trees, soil, bricks etc.

It can go forward in 4 different speeds and can also reverse, this is all controlled via the operator using a hand throttle. Its motorized wheel barrows size also allows it to fit through most standard doors/gates or fences.

Normally landscaping is used to make a garden or front yard look more appealing, if you have kids though you will also want it to be functional and having input from the kids will make it a more succesful project all round.

To get the children involved in lanscaping the garden here are some tips or suggestions

• You will be able to communicate how the plants are important and must be taken care of. You will be able to show them how you take care of living stuff like plants and animals in the garden, giving them responsibility and prepare them as they grow older.
• You can allot a kids play area, make the place welcoming to the kids.
• You may encourage the children to start a little garden all of their own. Kids can also be shown how to plant things in flowerbeds and small plant pots. When you need to do some gardening work this will then keep the kids occupied to let you get on.
• The time involved in landscaping together will be a great family activity, some special bonding time. The kids will love the attention and will help out in watering and weeding the plants.
