Carry a bucket full of water when gardening...
...it's heavy and hurts your hands!
Especially if the bucket handle is thin, metal and unprotected...
Fortunately, there is a gardening trick to avoid hurting your hands when carrying a very heavy bucket.
I found this technique in an old book my grandmother had in her basement and I'm sharing it with you today.
The simple and effective trick is to put a simple spanner on the handle of the bucket . Watch:
1. Take a double-ended spanner like this one.
2. Place the spanner under the shackle.
3. Lift the bucket using the spanner.
4. Continue to carry the bucket of water by the handle.
There you go, now you know how to carry a bucket full of water without hurting your hand :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
It's still better than hurting the inside of your hand!
Very handy when you have to carry water to water your plants or sand when you're doing things.
Those who have a vegetable garden or a garden to take care of know what I'm talking about!
