Hi All,
My handles of all my trugs eventually snap no matter how expensive
they are.
Can you recommend some that you have used that are really strong?

TIA


If you want something to carry tools around in, a bucket is best, imo or
one of those large squashy ones sold in gcs and riding equipment places,
because you can get a lot of weeds in those, too! If you want something
decorative as well, a shallow wicker basket does the trick. I've also
seen some which are longer (and shallow) which are used for cutting
garden flowers.


I use my trugs mainly for weeding, can get a lot more weeds into one
than a bucket, also easier to put in larger weeds. They are also handy
for harvesting an assortment of vegetables from the garden for a meal.
