Trug Dependancy: Update
 

I posted my concerns about my partner's trug dependancy here a few months
ago and a few of you were kind enough to offer words of encouragement and
advice.

Well, you will be pleased to know that she has got her act together
considerably and has even posted some of the results of her efforts he
http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/garden/garden.htm. (Nothing too
complicated - just a few pix of the garden with hardly any trace of trugs at
all!)

Excuse the odd blurry shot - apparently it can take years to get all the
effects of trugs out of your system.......

A very satisfying conclusion, but there is still some slight evidence of
trug dependency. However, she is to be congratulated on her will power and
life skills.

I'm sorry to have to broadcast my ignorance to so many, but what is 'trug'?

A trug is a wicker basket for carrying fruit. The word trug derives from
'trough', and it normally has no connection with 'troll'.

A trug is a wicker basket for carrying fruit.

.... and secateurs, spare gardening gloves, and bedding plants.

And keeping BEER from rolling into the Mighty Bonfire.

And transporting small weeds from the greenhouse, and storing twine and
garden wire, and nested flowerpots.

And transporting just enough potatoes for lunch, and mint, and rosemary.

And for the cat to sit in when he thinks I'm not looking.

If you haven't got one, you need one. If you've got one, you need two...

On that note, where might I find a trug (traditional or plastic) to
purchase? I want a large size one for carrying stuff round the garden -
with my terracing etc.. it will be easier than a wheelbarrow.

TIA

They have them in my area (Kent) and I want one but am not prepared to pay
the fortune that wooden ones cost (the idea of a plastic one is anathema to
me).

Chase/Organic catalogue carries a range of traditional and ertzatz trugs
and tub-trugs. They are all a bit pricey, but they look very stylish.
Just the kind of thing to give or receive as a Xmas gift?

I'm not sure where my expensive wooden one came from, as it was a present,
but I'd guess a random garden centre. My wicker one was a tenner from
Marks and Spencer.

I also have a couple of those big green Boskip bags which are invaluble for
trogging larger quantities up and down slopes where a wheelbarrow is more
hassle than it's worth, and have asked for a Tub Trug for Christmas - both
from http://www.queenswood.co.uk/index2.shtml - I have ordered from them
before, and can recommend them.

(Am I trug dependent???)

Thanks Alan,

I'll go check it out. You must have read my mind that I wanted to put one
on my Xmas present list ;-)

You could also try a local equine store - the muck buckets, used for
feeding or collecting up the after effects of feeding horses are good
for moving weeds and clippings to the compost heap - nice soft squidgy
black rubbery things, with handles. And a lot cheaper than a trug:-)
