"Carboy" carts at Walmart

Post by Jimmy » Thu Jul 26, 2012 9:11 pm

I was out at walmart tonight and noticed some flower pot carts in the garden section. They looked like they would be perfect for a carboy or primary bucket, and at $8 and they seemed like decent quality. This was at walmart in Bayers Lake...

I assume that if they're for large flower pots they can withstand at least 30kg? Something to look out for.

I don't hunt so bullet would do me no good! I did however buy a BB gun the previous year when I got a gift certificate for there and shot the mouse who was chewing through grain bags! That was a glorious victory.

Perfect. People sometimes forget how heavy things they use can be. Others try and put swimming pools on the roofs of poorly-built towers.

FYI there are "natural" coloured oned just like these marked down to $5, and square ones (also natural) for $5. All are 14 inch. I just came back with 4 of the square ones from Bedford Commons.

I went to take a look yesterday - I saw the two different colours but neither were discounted yet. I was going to buy one anyhow, but when I started going through the box, they were all broken. I did find one that wasn't, tried standing on it... long story short I went home empty handed :lol:
