Flexible trug thingies!!
« on: April 24, 2009, 19:51 »
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
I have a pair of secateurs and I'm not afraid to use them!!

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

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. ::)
