  • Veg Trug - as seen on TV

    Good Afternoon

    Is anyone using one of those Veg Trug as seen on TV and in gardening mags? The ones are mean are 2mtr and 1mtr long. I thought they are a bit costly but then again maybe I'm mean, or should that be thrifty I reckon I could make one so does anyone know where I can get a drawing or perhaps I need to be secretive and look at local garden centres and get out my tape measure.

    Not sure I know what you mean. What I know as a trug is a shallow basket used for collecting veg and transporting stuff. Small enough to carry.

            It's also not a trug according to standard definition. I'd hate to haul that to and from me plot to collect the veg!

              Looks lovely, but I agree with you it is a bit (or a lot) pricey. I suppose if you don't have a garden it might be worthwhile, but you could always use large plastic troughs from the cheap shops.

                Wow, and i thought buying extra large tub trugs for my container garden was an extravagance! Would be much cheaper to build it yourself, which you could easily do following the assembly instructions (on the vegtrug's own website) as a rough guide: http://www.acedomainname.com/uploads...VegTrug_L_.pdf

                  Salad bar, maybe................but not a curvy trug in the true sense of the word!

                      Erm, you can go in and amend your own posts; but I'll remove the pic for you.

                        Thank you all for your replies and links. Being a "man of a certain age" I was considering this as a winter build project but I may just use my pocket money on more containers.
