- 1). Use the wagon to clear garden beds. Pull weeds at least once a week, placing them in the garden wagon. Take up old plants that are no longer producing and put them in the wagon, as well. When the beds are cleared, pull the wagon to your compost system and add the garden refuse to one of the bins.
- 2). Transport your organic compost from the bin where it has matured to the prepared garden beds using the wagon. Using a spade, load the compost into the garden wagon, which will hold a good amount of compost so that you will not have to make so many trips back and forth. Shovel the compost onto the beds, and work it into the top soil well.
- 3). Use the wagon to cart gardening supplies and other items from the gardening shed to the area where you will be working. Carry planters filled with compost from one location to another for a container garden, or multiple garden tools to the garden bed that you are working in. Haul rocks or bricks in the wagon or bring scraps of wood to your work bench to build raised beds with.
Place paints and other project needs in the wagon for painting the garden shed or wooden planters, as well as nails and tools for making repairs on garden structures. Use the wagon to clean up the garden areas at the end of each day, putting everything back where it belongs. - 4). Plant a garden in an old garden wagon that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Consider planting flowers in a wagon to place in the front yard in a spot where people can see it from the road. Place plants like lilies, that will grow tall, in the center. Surround the tall plants with shorter plants such as daisies or black-eyed Susans for this. Plant marigolds around the outer edge. If you'd rather be more pratical, you can plant herbs or vegetables in your wagon.
