comment about word order in English
It is not helpful to the asker of this question to suggest a phrase with word order that is simply incorrect in English, regardless of brackets, commas etc. 'to carry (in the wheelbarrow) the weeds away' is not correct English, as any native speaker would tell you. You could say 'to carry the weeds away in the wheelbarrow', or even 'to carry the weeds away, (in the wheelbarrow)' although the nuances are then slightly different, and unnecessary in this context.

: I'd like to express with your statement my agreement. Added: could become confusing alright, especially now that Hacene has hidden his/her reply. Oh well.
