I'm after a trug

[russell]

Hi Everyone

I live in Rotherham, S Yorks and am trying to find a wooden trug. Not a wicker or bamboo but one with wooden slats.

I've seen some on ebay for about £25 but think that's a lot for one.

Can anyone help me out at all please?

Thanks!

I don't ever recall seeing them much cheaper to be honest.

Quick google (coz I want one too....)
Garden Trugs and Garden Baskets from Garden Selections
Perhaps ebay will be the cheapest tho'
I think I like the enamel ones!

i got my metal wire one free (by accident, honest guv) from Mr Sainsburys

I got a green plastic one from QD for £1.99. I'd love a wooden one, but the green plastic does the job. The main point is you can harvest a lot of stuff and it doesn't get squashed cos the trug is long, wide and shallow.

got mine from a charity shop for 99p, looked like it had never been used

new large garden trug on eBay, also Other Hand Tools Equipment, Hand Tools Equipment, Garden Plants, Home Garden (end time 13-Jul-08 09:41:36 BST)
Its only got 7 hours to go, and postage is quite high, £5.20

My trug was a freebie off a magazine from about 20 years ago. Green plastic, ugly as sin but I can wash it, use Jayes Fluid on it at the end of the year and it's still going strong. Also as it's smooth inside, no chance of scoring soft fruit.

I often wonder if a wooden one would stand up to this type of cleaning

Until I get one I'll just have to stick with the placcy bag from tesco's!

Might actually make one though........another project for the future!

I bought mine from Penistone Agricultural Show, Russell. Sadly it isn't until early September, but I think I paid about £15 for it a couple of years ago. Still, even if you don't want to wait that long for your trug, a trip to the show is a great day out, with loads of other gardening bargains to be had. (and no, I'm not on the committee!)
Welcome to the vine, by the way.
