    @darren hansen 134 - a large flexible builders trug (from a DIY or builders' merchant) is a very, very useful piece of gardening equipment.
    For about £6 you have something you can carry tools, compost, garden waste, plants etc round the garden, store bits and pieces in in the shed / garage and they are brilliant for holding deep water if you need to rehydrate pots.

    You can even use it for its intended DIY use🤓

    They last for years.

    I have 5 in varying states of repair - 'nuff said....😁

    I also have several trugs - very useful items for all kinds of jobs. Mine are also in varying states    ;)
    The supermarkets often have them too  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Six trugs of varying sizes here. Really useful for all kinds if things. Most recently, tipping out a bag of cheap peat-free compost to mix in a bit of soil and a bit of homemade compost.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Especially useful if you go caravanning, camping or sailing.
    Stuff lives in it for travelling and onsite it makes a great washing up, laundry basket or clothes washing bowl. I've even used one as a makeshift shopping basket - but I was desperate!😆
