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



Blueyonder, well ok a long time has passed.

Trugs? what are they?

Baz


Baskets basically. Used for harvesting fruit and veg.
I recommend the blue plastic ones sold at Pointe Verte here in France
but may a little too far to travel. ;-)


I have a green plastic one that came as a freebie with a short-lived
gardening magazine many years ago. It outlived my "expensive" one
despite being used more. I've also got a large green plastic tool
caddy and a belt-on holder that takes three pairs of secateurs (useful
for different jobs) plus a hand fork and spade and a ball of twine
that came with the same mag. Maybe the quality of its freebies was the
reason it failed as a mag.

Cheers, Jake
