Grow Your Own Magazine

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 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

OH bought me a plastic one from asda

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!)
