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

I was brought up with "Trugs" when we lived in Hastings, we used then
when we were cutting cucumbers as they held more and did no dammage to
the fruit, but that was the proper "Trug" or "Sussex Trug"

I now use several of the Plastic "bucket" thing that is called a trug
by some http://www.harrodhorticultural.com/w...tub_trugs.html
Good for carying anything from compost to water, and when filled with
water great for washing the mud off my wellies.
