basket for collecting lottie produce ...

[weekendwellies]

Can anyone tell me where I can get those nice shallow baskets with rounded bottoms and a handle that people use for gathering their produce. I don't want to spend a fortune obviously, but would like something robust that will allow me to collect a varied harvest and last for a good few years.

A trug is what you need Weekendwellies, there are a few threads on here if you search for the word trug but <<THIS>> is one of them.

Ps, I don't have one but am dropping heavy hints to OH for my birthday.

I was given a Sussex Trug for my birthday this year. It is a beautiful object but quite big when you are wondering where to keep it ! In the shed seems a bit sad for such a lovely thing, but where it is now, on the kitchen worktop, it takes up a lot of space ! I do love it though :-)

[weekendwellies]

Thanks Scarey. They are the ones; quite pricey though ain't they.
Looking for something a bit cheaper than that really.

[Alison]

You can get plastic versions of them in garden centres and the like. They don't look as good but are easy to wipe out and are a lot cheaper.

An ASDA shopping basket is good, but you need to run really fast out of the store though.

I got mine at Asda for a couple of quid it is plastic but it serves its purpose when I remember to take it with me lol.

[weekendwellies]

Lol... just searched Asda site for trug. Look what it found. Not exactly what I was after but gave me a laugh.

Hmmmm, not very helpful of ASDA! Might have more luck with Wilko's or somebody like that.

Is Asda the best basket or do Somerfield/Morrisons/Sainsburys ones do the same.

I do like the plastic washable idea though. Cheaper for sure.

I have a green plastic trug that i bought from the garden centre last year. most of the time though i seem to just use whatever comes to hand so not sure if it was a good purchase or not to be honest!

[Bren In Pots]

I got my green plastic trug free with a gardening mag years ago, but I usually forget to use it until I've got back into the house.

I must admit I do tend to use plastic containers for collecting things from the lottie, Ice cream containers, magerine tubs, carrier bags and any thing that I think will be useful get taken to my shed that way I have always got something to put my harvest in.

Our local Chineese take away delivers in little plastic containers with lids. I use them for freezing home made ready meals and also have a stash of them in the lottie shed as they're dead handy for bringing stuff home smaller stuff in bike paniers, were really good for the soft fruit.
