I always use my laundry basket for many things. First of course for my laundry for it makes it easier for me to carry it downstairs.downstairs . Then I use it to carry the clean laundry right back up. But I do a lot of work in my yard also. I use my laundry basket to carry my garden supplies downstairs so I do not have to make so many trips up and down. I have also carries many plants inside of it as I was planting in my pots and in the yard. So you see I use my laundry basket all the time.
