I've always wanted a garden trug for when I'm harvesting my veggies. But they  are not cheap, you might even say they are expensive  .
 So the other half made me this one. A little on the chunky side, but built to last

I love it  . Can't wait to use it  . Just hope I manage to grow some stuff to harvest

wow, i love it!  I need a good trug too, as you say, they are pretty expensive for what they are, I wish i could make my own too.

It will be a good insentive for you to get growing

That is really cool - suffering from Trug envy now

[Louise Gaunt]

That is very smart! I have a Sussex trug bought for me many years ago, I always feel a bit like Margo from the Good life when I go out for veggies for dinner!

[Lesley Silvester]

I know the feeling, Louise. I have a Sussex trug as well.


Bert, that is beautiful. I want one now.

[Mammyshaz]

That is lovely, there's a Market for them surely  Id be on the list.

That's fantastic!!! What I love most about it is the simplicity. I look at the photograph and think "I could make that" (given a fair wind and following seas).


A really encouraging piece of work. [size=78%] [/size]

It is lovely Bert.  And will not fall apart at the first sign of your giant veg    Did the diddy plant survive?

Not so diddy plant is doing great 


If anyone really dose want a trug other half said he would make them for £10 ( wood, screws, electric for saw bench & lathe and his skilled time )
But I think postage would put the cost through the roof due to the unique way Royal Mail now take weight and size in to account. I'm happy to find out the actual price if anyone really really wants a home made chunky trug. You are welcome to collect

[Lesley Silvester]

That's a very reasonable price but think you're right about the cost of postage. It wouldn't be that easy to package either. Next time I'm passing, I'll pop in to collect mine. 

[Bramblecot]

I could use one for carrying young lambs .  I think I need a trip to Mull

[Clarebelle]

He could maybe adapt the handle so it swings down to lay flat on the body of the trug, would make packaging and storage a bit easier

Hi folks
I'm the other half and builder of the trug.
As Bert said postage would be stupidly expensive for this, it really is quite chunky! ?
BUT if anyone really wants to come to mull and collect one I'll build them one for free.

couriers are usualy cheaper than parcel force/post office these days. My hermes is around £4.20 basic from door to door. Weight and size matter but sending as a self-assembly pre-drilled etc deals with size.
