Are there any recommendations for a good trug?.


We find that no matter how much we spend they all seem to split down the sides.

The black ones made of rubber, withstand all sorts of abuse, last ages !

I use willow baskets for cleanish things and plastic trugs for roots.

Hope it helps 
but I doubt it

I have found that it is best to drill a couple of holes each side and use thick rope as the handles.

Havn't had a split since so maybe the moulded handles cause a weakness in the fabric.

Oops,wrong sort of trug    in that case I also like the plastic ones for my mucking out and weeding. I've never had one split and there not expensive or named brand ones. So I'm not being much help, sorry.

Oh I thought you meant a trug for collecting veggies in  .   For cleaning out hen houses we just use a wheelbarrow.  I certainly wouldn't be using a willow woven basket for hen $h*t 

If you just mean those rubbery bucket things with two handles, I find most of them are too flimsy to take any sort of weight.  I do have one though, no idea where it came from, with big, strong, chunky handles which you'd be hard pressed to break with anything you could also lift.  So they are out there
