1. A multi-purpose transporter comprising: a) a hollow container having an upper surface, a lower surface, a front surface, a rear surface, and right and left sides, the front surface meeting the upper surface and the lower surface at an angle such that the when the hollow container is tipped with the rear surface uppermost, at least one opening at a point in the upper surface adjacent the front surface is lowermost in the container, so that the container may drain completely through the opening; b) a pair of frame rails connected to the right and left sides of the hollow container, each having a first end extending rearwardly of the rear surface of the container and a second end connected to an axle adjacent to the front surface of the container; c) a frame extending between the pair of frame rails, underneath and supporting the hollow container; d) at least one leg attached to the frame; e) a pair of wheels on the axle, inward of the second ends of the pair of frame rails, the wheels being large enough to support the transporter over rough ground; and f) a front support structure connected to the front surface of the hollow container, such that when the transporter is tipped forward with the rear surface of the hollow container uppermost, the transporter is stably supported on the ground by the wheels and the front support structure, with the at least one opening on the upper surface of the container supported a distance above the ground permitting a container placed on the ground under the at least one opening to be filled by material flowing from the at least one opening. 2. The transporter of claim 1, wherein said frame is metal. 3. The transporter of claim 1, further comprising a handgrip on the first end of each of the frame rails. 4. The transporter of claim 1, in which the hollow container has a rear opening on the rear surface, adjacent the lower surface, and further comprising a cap sealably closing the rear opening. 5. The transporter of claim 1, further comprising a cap sealably closing the at least one opening on the upper surface of the container. 6. The transporter of claim 5, further comprising a mesh strainer in the at least one opening on the upper surface, underneath the cap, such that fluid poured into the opening is strained for debris. 7. The transporter of claim 5, in which the cap further comprises a spigot. 8. The transporter of claim 1, in which the front support structure comprises a compartment. 9.
