I’ve been doing lots of raking in my yard lately, and it’s frustrating when my rake falls out of my wheelbarrow as I move through the garden. I solved this problem by attaching two large, inexpensive spring clamps to the side of the wheelbarrow’s bucket, spaced about 2 feet apart. The rake, along with any other long-handled tools I may need, rests between the handles of the clamps and stays put.
