I believe the answer is:

shelve

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put it aside for now' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'contents of bushel very heavy' is the wordplay.
'contents of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SHELVE' is hidden within 'bushel very heavy'.

Can you help me to learn more?
