Lawn & Garden Utility... Trike Maybe?
We grow quite a few raised garden beds, mostly raise veggies, some flowers, etc.
Anyways, I was checking out the cargo trikes and wondered if anyone had any experience with them? Perhaps could give me a recommendation on one that would fit my purpose. Thanks.

Your row crops spacing being dictated by the space between the wheels? 3 wheel or very narrow wheel track double front wheels are Like that, for a Purpose similar.

How big is the garden? I just can't imagine getting on and off a trike every few feet being easier than a regular pull cart.

From a hauling stand point, I can't say enough about my Worksman adaptable with basket. But I do know from experience that if you aren't on asphalt or some really good hard pack then it is about worthless. The weight makes it an anchor. From my experience in gardening, no matter what you do your rows "aisle" is always going to be a little loose. But a good, aggressive, wide bike tire (for a bike, not trike) and a trailer will roll.... I took my mountain bike with trailer places I really shouldn't have with loads that I never should have attempted. Does anyone around you have some setups you can try in that environment? I'd hate to see you end up with a roller that won't roll. Best of luck to you.
