Do you have large pots that are difficult to move? Just put them on wheels!
Many garden centers offer plant dollies or plant caddies, most simply saucers on wheels. And if you can’t find one locally, you can order one on the Internet. Most are large enough for mid-size to large plants, allowing you to move them where you want and to give them a regular quarter turn with a minimum of effort.
And you can easily make your own plant dolly if you want: just add 3 or 4 wheels, available at any hardware store, to a square section of board, glue a plant saucer on top and you’re off to the races!

A couple of years back, we did this with everything in our garage – tool benches, cabinets, etc. We put wheels on it all so when we want to move things around or clean, we just push. 🙂
Brilliant!
