Red Gorilla Medium Flexible Plastic Tub, Toy Storage, Laundry, Gardening & More, 26 Liter/6.8 Gallon, Pistachio

These TubTrugs are an indispensible necessity in my gardens at two homes. They are very lightweight, so I use the large one for heavy weeding, as it is easy to lift it even when it is full. I have these in three sizes and the flexible material allows me to fit them into various carts or into the car to carry plants back and forth from place to place. I will not be without them!

I have about 6 different sizes and love them. As a Master Gardner these are a tool for weed pulling, repotting plants, deadheading roses...everything. So many uses.

Every December I buy the guards who work at my apartment building and my housekeeper and my dog walker all a bucket full of food and goodies. I live in Africa, and where I am it is so hard to find any sort of quality product that this year I decided that the pricey but horrible quality plastic buckets available here weren't going to cut it. I ordered these instead.They're fantastic. Now given, I didn't actually buy one for myself so haven't used one, but they are clearly well made and strong. I loaded them up with heavy foodstuffs and candy and whatnot, and they held the weight great. The are flexible, easy to carry, and unlike the stuff you get here I think these are going to last the recipients for a long long time.

We bought a 10 gallon one a while ago, was a little bigger than we needed so we got this 6.5 gallon one. It's great too, if I could change one thing it would be to make it a little shorter and wider so it doesn't tip as easy.The first one we got had a strong chemical smell though that we couldn't figure out how to clean, so we contacted them and they sent us a replacement.

I bought Tubtrugs in every size available, and in a variety of the pretty colors.There are so many uses, that I'm finding them invaluable: puppy toy box, collecting debris in the yard (or in the house!), carrying a bunch of stuff from one part of my house to another, carrying dirt or mulch or fertilizer for gardening, carrying vegetables in from the garden, etc.I've gotten them pretty muddy and dirty, and they wash up like new easily.Just wonderfully handy to have around in different colors and sizes. I think the pretty colors affect my mood too! They are colors of a flower garden, rather than the drab black or beige of a normal bucket.

There are copycats in big box lawn and garden centers, but I have found the original tubtrugs to last several seasons of gardening. The main thing is that they are flexible, so they can bend throughout temperature changes without cracking. I find the handles to be comfortable. The 7-gallon is the perfect size to carry your gardening tools, wash the car, laundry, leaves and weeds, harvesting, etc. Anything bigger is too heavy to pick up when filled.

I love the TubTrug, I used mine in the garden last fall to carry produce. Being able to carry things with one hand is a real plus. I love the light weight and the great colors. After the garden season, I used it to hold rainwater for my indoor plants and carrying items to and from storage. It is also great for hand washing in the laundry room and doubles as a laundry basket. I would not be without my TubTrug! I ordered another for myself and one as a gift. I have the 26 liter TubTrug which works well for me as it is about the right size for carrying heavy items.

Oh how I love my TubTrugs. I have so many now people are starting to wonder if I have an obsession. I use them for absolutely everything! Cleaning, storage, dog baths, horse grain, foot soaks, ice buckets, craft painting, farmer's market, wastepaper baskets, car travel, camping, gardening, composting, shop displays, toy bins, on and on. They're super easy to clean, come in cheerful colors, and they're nearly indestructible. Just can't say enough good things about them. They're on my perpetual Christmas gift list. I load them up with smaller gifts and goodies, then deliver the entire bucket like Santa's satchel. They're disguised as a humble holiday tote, but really they're more useful and appreciated than all the gifts packed inside.
