Not reeeely, because anything you can use a trug for works as well or better in a bucket. Carrying tools, veg, flowers. But try carrying tadpoles in a trug... Janet |

But try carrying tadpoles in a trug... Buckets are generally 10, maybe 15L capacity. You can get much bigger trugs which are useful for carrying bulkier things, for weeding when it won't fill up so quickly. For mixing stuff up etc. We've got buckets and trugs, wheelbarrow and a couple of old builders dumpy bags. All ahve their uses. -- Chris French |

Janet But to be fair Janet if you are picking flowers or some veg, it's best to be able to lay them across the proper trug than to stick it all in a deep but not so wide bucket. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Some more research indicates that Wyvale sell "trugs" - plastic bucket type things with two handles now being called "Flexitubs" - much more appropriate. Flexitubs is just another brandname. I always assumed that this usage of the word trug, came from the original (??) brand Tub-trugs? FWIW, you can get 'professionsl' Tub-trugs which should be stronger (don't know how easy to source though. There are also Gorrila Tubs, which are the builders version of Tub-trugs. http://www.gorillatubs.com/ -- Chris French |
