barrowful
One cart's worth
A barrowful is the amount a wheelbarrow can hold—a single load: We carted off three barrowfuls of mulch.
The word measures garden work, construction debris, or anything moved by wheelbarrow.
Like handful or bucketful, it's an informal unit based on container capacity rather than precise measurement.
