When working in your yard or garden, do you constantly have a problem with your wheelbarrow tipping over? The key to keeping your wheelbarrow from tipping is to lock your elbows in a straight position when picking up the wheelbarrow. Lift with your knees and not your back to avoid your load from tipping. Make sure that you are not overfilling the wheelbarrow, especially at the opposite end of the handles. It takes a little practice, but you can become an expert in pushing a wheelbarrow in no time by following these tips.
