Not sure if this is good value but thought it was, so bought quite a few. I don't know what the proper name is, but they are like big bucket thingies with two handles and they are quite flexible. Anyhoo!! If you know what I mean, the 40ltr ones are £2.99 from Home Bargains. I'm hoping to drill holes in them and plant my pumpkins in them :D

Apparanty they are called Tubtrugs?!
-
Do you mean Garden humpers?
-
yes they're called Tubtrugs. I've got some and you can use em for all sorts. I've got one under my leaky shed roof at the moment :ohmy:

We call them gorilla bins!! :D

I've got to say these are one of the best things I own. I love them. So many uses. I've got one for the allotment, one for my home garden and one for a laundry basket to take the clothes outside. If I could afford to I'd buy more. I get them cheap at Tescos when they're on offer if you don't mind the bright colours.

The shallow ones about 5 ins deep and 2ft 6 across are worth their weigth in gold too -- watering pots from below, carrying pots that are planted up, potting up on etc.
Just great :D
-
iv got one they are worth the money they are great :)

Rangerkris, you've obviously taken lessons from my guys. I bought bright purple garden gloves and wrote MOM on the back to keep everyone from borrowing them. Didn't work; all I got were complaints about why did I buy purple ones because they looked feminine. ::)
