We think Tubtrugs are one of the most useful gardening tools ever, so we could hardly wait to try out this new size. These flexible, lightweight polyethylene tubs are washable, bendable, crushable and nearly indestructible. This mid-size, 7-gallon Tubtrug is perfect for picking apples, collecting weeds in the garden and holding groceries in the back of the car. With several Tubtrugs already hard at work at home and in the garden, we keep finding uses for a few more!

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I love this tubtrug! I use it for everything: great for gathering deadheads and clippings, carting tools around, carrying water. I give them as gifts, too!C
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I started with one of each size. I thought of so many uses, I kept ordering more. I may be up to 10, not including the ones I've bought for friends and family. The large and medium sizes are perfect for yard cleanup and because they're so flexible, it's easy to "pour" the contents into a big paper yard-waste recycle sack - no more collapsing paper sacks! The small is great for watering plants. A medium green one holds a fountain and three water plants. My niece uses one for her baby's toys, that is when the baby isn't sitting in it and being pulled around the floor, squealing with delight. Who needs expensive toy cars when a tub trug will do? They hold ice and cold drinks, groceries in the back of the car, kayak gear, recycling, and cat toys. I don't know how I got along without them!

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I got the 7 gallon Tubtrug. It's first assignment was to carry bricks from my neighbors yard to mine. I filled it as full as I could - making two trips. I was exhausted - it went unscathed. So far I've use it for carrying garden tools and gathering weeds. I imagine it will be perfect for harvesting my produce when it's ready. I got one for my neighbor who first used it for her hand-washables and now uses it for her weeding. I got one for my boyfriend who used it for cleaning out gutters - and was thrilled that it was lightweight and easy to maneuver. We love our Tubtrugs! :)

My granddaughter loves this size container. She can easily take it and put her toys in it to be put away. We have also found it can sit at the back door to hold shoes. This is also nice to take to the beach to hold shells, water, and fun things.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
great for mixing soil and storing gardening tools and odds and ends
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
It is so lightweight that it doesn't add extra weight and bulk to what I already have to carry. It is just the right size to mix up a batch of soil for bedding plants, or a small amount of mulch without taking a whole cart full.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have 2, one for upkeep of the garden and one for harvesting.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I just use these things for everything. I always have them in my car as I have numerous gardening jobs around town and can always find a use for them.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
These are awesome. Only cons are price, and tendency to slosh more than expected when filled with water
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I've been using a big utility bucket and while it's been OK, these tubtrugs are much easier to handle. The metal handle on the bucket was constantly in the way when trying to dump contents into a bag. The handles on the tubtrug are included in the rim and are never a hindrance. Also, since the tubtrug is flexible, it's easier to direct the contents into a bag thus avoiding spills. So far, I've used these only for weeding and carrying plants and tools, but I know they will be useful in other ways the longer I have them.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have owned one of these tubs for over 5 years. I couldn't do without it. Strong and light weight. Good for carrying trash or liquids.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I bought two 7-gallon tubs at first. I use one to carry my tools around w/me, the other for carrying compost, potting mix, etc. Love them so much I'm buying one for my mother and another one for me. The fact that they come in fun colors is a bonus. I might even buy one for my sister for her knitting. These are an excellent product!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
The large tubtrugs I use for carrying around laundry, emptying the dryer and organizing folded garments, towels etc. The medium size I use in the garden to hold soil and mulch as I move from plant to plant. Under filling the tubtrug allows me to carry it in one hand. I carry one in each hand and load a few needed hand tools into them too then move around the perimeter of the house, amending the soil. It's so much easier than pushing a wheelbarrow or dragging large bags of soil. I love the cheerful colors, especially the yellow and lavender. I also leave one large trug in a handy outdoor location where I can collect garden trimmings for composting later. Caution: if you place like sized tubtrugs inside each other they might get stuck together, at least when new.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Garden perfect tool to carry soil, weeds, etc. - just the right weight.
The handles give for great carry solution.
Plan to use around the pool to store ice and drinks.

I bought the mid-size ones and will get a larger one too! Great gift!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
In the garden, the tubtrug can be used to transfer composting material to amend garden, aid in carrying heavy objects, and to gather clippings, debris, and weeds. Colorful, attractive, sturdy, and cleans up is a snap with a hose. Great addition for schlepping stuff to the beach or to keep drinks cold.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use it to carry things all over, but also to put pulled weeds in so they don't fall back to the ground. My granddaughters use one to carry their pool toys around.

I used mine to gather all my hummingbird feeders to be cleaned and refilled.Love the flexibility of the tub.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Love the trugs. I use to use a bucket until it got a crack in it and I needed something else. I've seen the trugs in the catalogs before and have always wanted to get one. I couldn't decide what size, so I bought the 7 gallon & the 3 l/2 gallon, and I'm glad I did. I just love them. Tote everything from plants to potting soil, to leaves, grass clippings, and stones. They have become a gardening essential. I use them whenever I'm in the garden, and I am glad that I got the 2 different sizes. I love that their flexible so you can pull the handles together and carry with one hand. Very versatile, and pretty too! I plan on buying a couple more!!!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
We have used this med sized carryall for everything, tools to get our deer fence up, gardening tools to lay out ans amend the new beds and we look forward to warmer weather when we can use it to carry vegetables and flowers from garden to table and farmer's market. We like it so much we intend to order several more.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use this product when weeding my extensive flowerbeds. I can carry it with me to hold all the unwanted weeds I pull and it's never too heavy.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
It is a great catch-all. I can see so many uses for this tub. I love it!!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
These Tubtrugs have been great for hauling weeds (Yuck!) and debris, but I look forward to using them when I harvest my bounty!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I keep my garden tools in the colorful tub to tote them around as I work in the garden. It is also a good container for weeding.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This product is a perfect solution for weeding. I keep it nearby and discard the weeds in the Tub. It sure beats the small bucket I used to use, or the large plastic sheet. It holds many of the "unwanteds" and is easily transported to the garden waste barrel. The Tub stays where you put it, too. The color--I selected the bright green--makes me smile!
A garden lover with too little time
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Besides the ordinary and multitudinous gardening uses, I use Tubtrugs for soaking raw hides, and for the different stages in brain tanning buckskin. Also good for outdoor parties - icing the drinks. I have purchased numerous Tubtrugs for my friends.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
LIGHTWEIGHT USE IT MORE THAN MY SPRINKLING CAN
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
After a year when mulching the yard the handles broke off. The mulch just was not that heavy either. I was very disappointed.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I bought the 7 gal. tubtrug to use in the vegetable garden, but I have used it for yard and flower bed clean-up. Very light and easy to use. I plan to buy the larger one next.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This is one of the best things ever in the garden. Not too heavy when full. Good for hauling lots of stuff, storing stuff, temporary home for transplants.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have been using ths a lot in the past couple of weeks. Perfect size and when loaded up with weeds (blah) easy to dump into the larger green bin.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I ordered this to replace a crumbling bushel basket I had been using for garden cleanup. From day one, I have been using it not only in the garden but to carry all kinds of things. I'm going to get another one and also some in different sizes.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This item is very handy when weeding. It's also good for collecting old flower heads or any type of cleanup in the garden. I love the flexibility and the fact that it's light weight and colorful for a touch of whimsey. It's also easy to clean.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
this looks like it will be very useful once my season starts!!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This is a great multi-tasker item. I love it. Also so great to have different sizes to use. Thank you.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I purchased this item to store my 5 year old's bath toys! I can load it up with wet toys straight from the tub and empty out the drained water the next morning. I love the fact that these are kid-proof, soft and flexible, brightly colored & fun for holding kid's nicknacks. Tubtrugs are easy to clean and practical for so many household storage uses. I plan on purchasing additional tubtrugs for toy storage, as well as for my gardening needs in spring, summer, and fall. I love the cheerful colors. Thank you for a great multipurpose practical product!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I used the tub for just about every gardening job that I did - BUT - over time the bottom deteriorated and eventually the entire bottom cracked and fell apart. I was very disappointed.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This size tub is ideal for gathering cut flowers in the back yard and bringing them to the house without smashing them. And when not filled with flowers, it can be filled with ice and drinks and set out on the patio. Great colors, can be mixed and matched.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
love the garden tubs, use them for everything, leaves, dirt moving plants around . I have given them to friends & family, great for party ice tubs too.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I own several of these in different colors; and I must say are worth every penny! I use them all season long for every gardening chore you can think of. After hauling compost just a quick squirt of the hose makes them ready for picking apples or bringing in heavy loads of squash from the garden. They are great for gathering toys and games for a picnic or the beach too. I also like to fill them with produce for the farmer's market, as they are rugged yet make a colorful, eyecatching display.
The best part is that during the rest of the year I use them inside for clothes baskets, hauling water to my humidifiers and storing bags of potting soil for repotting house plants and having seed starter easily available in the basement during mid-winter. I am a very frugal person and can tell you that you will get your money's worth out of them. I have had some of mine for 3 years now and they show no signs of wear at all!

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Well, I'm afraid I've found ANOTHER use for my tubtrugs, lord knows I use them for so many things in spring,summer and fall but I found a new use this winter. They are great to catch water dripping down the inside of our window from the thaw from our 40"" of snow. I tack up plastic and funnel it into the tub. Thank goodness I have several!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Great for dragging through the flowerbed/garden when I'm weeding. When it's full, I carry it to the trashcan or compost pile.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I Love my lavendar Tubrug. The 7 gallon size is perfect for when I deadhead my potted flowers. My next purchase will be a larger one for harvesting my vegetable garden this year.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This size is ideal for transporting "things" in the car trunk. Originally I thought to use it to mix soil for container gardening, but, have used it in numerous tasks. The flexibility makes for easy carrying and the color selection is delicious.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I will use it to collect vegetables and weeds.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I got ONE Tubtrug, but I need three. One for upstairs stuff going down, one for downstairs stuff going up, another for the front yard and one for the back. Being able to hold both handles in one hand while holding on to the stair rail is an added plus. I gave several of these away for Christmas and everyone loves them.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
The first one I purchased was immediately appropriated for my daughter's toys so I had to buy a second one! Will use mine for preparing planting mixes, harvesting produce, and probably lots of other yard and garden uses.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
You can carry plants, water or trimmings easily, or clean it out and chill beverages in it.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I took this to my community garden space all summer both from carrying in gardening tools to carrying out my vegetables! I use it to gather kindling in the woods, carry in fire logs, hold dirt while re-potting plants and plants while re-locating them. I carry around gardening tools. I've even used it to ice drinks for a party! Flexible, sturdy, nice color and dependable.

I gave my mom a couple of these tubs as Christmas gifts. As an avid gardener with advanced arthritis, she's looking forward to using these for spring gardening. I can see my dad using these also for larger jobs around the yard.

Tubtrugs are my favorite gardening tools. I have the larger size, too, and use it regularly.

Great for weeding, harvesting garden produce, picking apples, and chilling beer/wine for the cookout. Very Useful Item.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Get several of these, in a variety of sizes. They do LOTS of work! Wonderfully flexible and lightweight, you can carry them anywhere and then lug anything in them -- soil, rocks, lawn clippings, water...you get the picture. Easy to clean. Hook over your fencepost to keep handy. And fun colors keep them visible for those of us who forget where we left something when we get immersed in our work. You cannot go wrong with this product. After you're done working, rinse, fill with ice and beverages and relax!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
The bright colors coordinate with the horse farm. These make a great catch-all for the items to be carried each trip from house to barn: laundry, supplies, the mail, gloves, etc. It doesn't crack like a laundry basket and it a more useful shape than a bucket. It is attractive enough to use for recycling at parties.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Great product.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I own several, have bought them for work and as gifts. They are great to use and the colors are cheery and fun. My only complaint is that they seem to break down quickly if left outside.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
great for gathering vegies from the garden or fill it with ice and drinks for an outdoor picnic
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
When I first bought the larger Tubtrug, purchased it not realizing just how much I would use it. Very convenient and Light weight, so you can carry it all around the yard while pruning or weeding. Nice too that when you transfer the weeds etc. to another bag or container, the trug is flexible, so you don't end up dumping half of it outside the bag.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I sent a set as gifts to my daughter and daughter-in-law. They both live in multi-stories houses and use them to tote items from floor to floor.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I liked this until the handle broke this winter, and I don't live in the coldest climate. It makes an expensive disposable container.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
For toy storage, they are soft and durable for children and toddlers if they fall on them.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Wonderful item.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This product was given as a gift. I liked it so much I almost kept it for myself. I'm going to order myself one of these colorful tubs.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I ordered a small Tubtrug to check quality. I re-ordered another one of a different size and color for myself, as well as two sizes in two shades of green as a gift for one daughter and two sizes in two shades of purple for my other daughter.
I was very impressed with the quality and flexability. I'll probably order more next spring.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I bought two of these as gifts for gardeners. They were very well received. I like the bright colors and versatility of the Trugs. They could be used for many things besides gardening.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I love these tubs! I had three (one of each size), and Santa brought be another set of three for Christmas. I use them to haul veggies from the garden to my kitchen and to carry my gardening twine, clippers and other tools. The bright colors make them easy to spot.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I love my tubtrug so much I gave some as Christmas gifts to friends who garden. I use mine for weeding, transplanting plants, lugging compost, etc.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Can no longer carry the bigger, heavier trugs around so I like this smaller version. Plus they are so pretty to look at and pretty to have in the garage!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
keep the groceries from rolling around in the trunk
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use these when weeding - easy to toss weeds into, then easy to carry to the compost pile. I leave them out in the yard between uses so that they collect rain water; then if you grasp the two handles together they form a handy spout to poor the rainwater. Also I use them when collecting spent flower stalks: I cut off the stalks and place them upside down in the trugs to dry. When dry, I shake the stalks, the seeds fall into the bottom of the trug, and then I can pour them out into small containers for use the next year. And the trugs are pretty!!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Got this one for a friend who loves the one I got last year...she also thinks it would work well filled with ice and bottles of white wine
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
The works perfectly to corral my knitting. It is lightweight and easy to lug around the house. It is smooth so the yarn doesn't catch. It has a solid bottom so needled don't poke out.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
When a set of three sizes were sent to my son's family, they were quickly grabbed up by the kids to transport items, especially toys, to Gramma's house. I've utilized them in MANY ways, both inside and outside the house. A GREAT buy!!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I bought this one for my brother-in-law. I stacked all his gardening presents in it and tied a ribbon on the whole thing. Perfect packaging and so useful!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I gave this product as a gift to a very particular friend who organizes everything in her home and office. She doesn't garden but has a million uses for the tubtrug and she loved the color as I knew she would.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have one of this size tub and have given others as gifts to most of my family members. Their uses are virtually unlimited, and I love the fact that the bright colors make them easy to find amidst all the greens and browns in the garden! Perhaps the most challenging thing is deciding among the color options! In this part of the country, we have to consider colors that reflect college athletic loyalties when gifting!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Use it all the time!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use a couple of these in the house for carrying water from my rain barrel to flush toilets.
The larger bucket I use outdoors when I prune, water plants, mix soil. and collect rainwater. They are terrific.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I absolutely LOVE this product! I use it for everything, including mixing materials for planting, hauling garden cuttings to the compost heap, even emptying our child's wading pool! My last one would probably have lasted forever had I not dropped it on the garage floor during sub-zero weather and the handles cracked. That was the ONLY drawback I ever found. Love the colors, too!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
The 7 gallon Trug is the perfect laundry basket for my daughters. It comes in great colors and is easy for them to carry to the laundry room.

I also use it inside the house.
It would be nice to have a version with a handle.

These are great for gardening, but don't stop there. Keep one in the car because they are handy for carrying just about everything. Everyone comments about how terrific these are!

Great for harvesting vegetables from the garden. I use it when I weeding my flower gardens too. Wonderful when re-potting plants or holding potting soil.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
great for weeding and transporting clippings/starts - light weight so doesn't add much to the load. easy to empty.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have both the 7 and 11 gallon Tubtrugs and love them both. This smaller size is great for mixing and carrying heavier loads like potting soil. I use the smaller size a lot at my potting bench. They've made my gardening chores much easier. Don't know how I got along without them.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I wanted something lightweight but large enough to use when I deadhead the flowers in my flower garden and for other garden clean up. I purchased the 7 gallon Tubtrug, and it is exactly what I needed.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Tubtrugs are durable, light weight, easy to handle, and the uses are endless.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have all three sizes and I am buying them now as gifts.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
The best tub I have ever had---so easy to take anywhere in the garden; much better than lugging a big plastic trash bag around.
Roses need to be placed into water as soon as they are cut so as not to wilt----I use my tub with a small amount of water to place the roses in until I get inside.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have two other trugs, both in black. Bought this because I kept being unable to find the others due to color. This one stands out and is pretty to look at in the garden when in use. Wish the material was a little sturdier as I often haul rocks in mine when digging holes. Use will prove whether I needed to be concerned.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I always hated the way other pails or buckets banged into my shins, so I bought a couple of these. Then I bought a couple of more...and so on.A valued tool for this gardener.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
From cleaning up vegetable waste to picking up cuttings from overgrown plants, from toting tools around to trimming bushes.....this is the best, and most used, tool in my gardening shed. It also DOES NOT fade. I leave it out in the melting sun on my deck quite often in the summer and it really keeps it's good looks. A must-have.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
These tubs are easy to store and stack, hold a variety of items, such as clippings, vegetables, flowers, soil, water, etc. I like the fact that they remain upright in spite of being flexible in width, meaning they conform to various size objects, and enables the person carrying the tub to put the handles together to be carried in one hand. A cheerfully colorful addition to a garden or work environment.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
love garden baskets as colorful and easy to clean and easy to put veggies in.. good exercise to carry any size baskets when veggies are full..
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use my tubtrug for the weeding and grooming chores around my veggie and flower beds and yard. It is so easy to take along as I move from place to place, not leaving mess behind me as I work. It is my favorite new "helper".
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have always used bushel baskets in the past but the splints tend to break and yard material fall through the cracks. The plastic tubs are light weight and wonderful. I have one in each size and they are great for all jobs!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
It's lightweight even when filled with clippings.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I bought an 11 gallon tub two years ago. This year I bought two more 11 gallon ones and a 7 gallon one. I use the small one to carry hand tools and gloves. The bright color makes it easy to spot on the lawn. I load all my tubs into my garden cart so I only have to make one trip. I wouldn't be without them!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Great for trips to the recyling bin
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
garden clean up, harvesting vegetables, mixing potting soil
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Not only do these trugs add a brilliant pop of colour to my gardens, they are perfect for every use under the sun. There is not enough room to list all the ways we use the trugs daily. Another plus is they are easy to find when working in heavily wooded areas...the colour just glows.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This purchase was really worth it. I use it for weeding and to lug around all my supplies.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I love this! I have many daylilies and other flowers, and this tubtrug is the perfect size for my deadheading duties. I love having it in bright red; it cheers me to see it!

I've bought five of these for myself and just got one for my sister-in-law. They have so many uses. They are colorful, easy to carry, and sturdy!

I use it when I weed, it is so easy to move around. It is GREAT as a watering can. I just fill it half full of water, and pull the two handles together which makes a great pouring spout!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I got the 3 gallon size for a present and loved to ues it in the garden. I soon found that I could use a larger size also. I like that they nest together and don't take up much more room when stored toeghter. All my gardener friends are getting a tubtrug for Christmas.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Sturdy yet lightweight and easy to handle. Easy to clean. Nice that it comes in different sizes. Just one won't do.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have used this product again and again. I can take it into small places in my garden when I weed. It's very easy to handle so I bought one for my daughter and she says she loves it. Great product.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I absolutely love this product. I have three sizes so far (2 of the large ones, a medium and a small) and use one just to carry gardening tools around with me, one is usually used to collect garden refuse, and then dumped into the gardenway cart. I've used them to transport mulch into a large garden, put my grandchildren's outside sand toys into, and put plants into that I've dug up and want to replant elsewhere.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have used my tubtrug for gathering produce, carrying water to plants, and hauling supplies from the garage to the garden. It works quite well, and I'm pleased with it. I do wish the green color was a bit more subdued, but at least I won't lose it!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Looking forward to finding many more uses for this...will probably even get a larger one too.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use it indoors and outdoors for many tasks.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use this tub to hold paper & plastic recycling items on the first floor before carrying downstairs to larger bins in garage. It is perfect! Not only is it colorful and easy on the eyes, but the handles make it possible for me to easily carry it fully loaded down a flight of 15 steps and out to garage. I suffer from arthritis and found the container I was using previously for this purpose not at all user-friendly. I will be ordering additional tubs for other uses outside in garden and also inside the house. You simply can't go wrong with this item --- if it does not meet your intended reason for purchase you are sure to have another one that it will meet sweetly.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I put weeds and dead flowers in the trug as I deadhead my roses and other flowers in the bed. It is soft and light. Very convenient.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Use this multiuse tubtrug for everything. Dust it off, hose it down and start all over again!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I bought a small tubtrug in a color to match my kitchen decor and use it to store dog toys. The pups can easily help themselves and, at the end of the day, I can pick up everything to maintain some semblance of neatness. I use the larger one to store grass clippings and weeds until compost day.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Amusing colors & easy to move full garden tubs.

These tubs are just the right size for yard waste clean-up jobs, especially for a senior citizen gardener with limited strength.

I have had this product for a few weeks and have already come up with a million ways to use it! It worked great for collecting recycleable cans and bottles when having a party.

It's perfect & easy to use for garden clean up jobs.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
These tubs are the greatest invention for the garden ever! I love how comfortable and lightweight they are and how functional!

Be sure to get one in every size!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
small enough to fill and carry wherever I need it. fill w/hand-tools and off I go.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
My husband ran over this tub with his construction grade bucket loader and it just bounced right back! We've used this bucket for just about anything you can think of. Like hauling sawdust & dirt,transplanting, carrying toys to the beach and a pool for frogs.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have used this for yard clean up, spreading fertilizer and carrying and storing tools. I love them because of the flexibility and convenient sizes. I highly recommend them.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I am finding new uses for this trug everyday. Works great to deadhead plants, pick vegetables in the garden, ice down drinks, etc. I use it to pick up items such as screwdrivers, nuts,bolts,glue, etc., left in the house by my husband and return them to our barn where they belong! I do not have any negative statements to make about this item! Thanks for a great product!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use my tubs as a recycling bin. They work great!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
It works well for carrying tools and weeds, but it is difficult to carry when it is full of soil. Flexibility is nice, because it can frequently be carried with one hand.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Keep it with me all the time when I am checking out the gardens. That way when I deadhead and snip and snap my husband doesn't tell me I leave a mess. Being that it is so flexible its easy for me to weave in and out of my tight spaces in the flower garden. An answer to my problems. Thank you for your help as usual.

so very colorized in the yard!....
a real fashion statement!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Great for gathering garden waste, like when deadheading or cleaning up debris. Would be even nicer if the handles were a little stiffer so that the tub could be picked up by one handle (only when lightly loaded of course) without tipping over.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Use for Beach, garden, school, stand up or protect shopping items in trunk.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I bought two of these tubtrugs (trugs) and bought more. My mom loves hers. She has one for the garden and uses one for her laundry! They are just the right size; the colors are fun and pretty; sturdy, tough, and handle anything I throw at them. I really recommend these. They've even been used as buckets for icing down soda and bottled waters! Their uses are as limited as one's imagination...
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use it for gathering weeds and holding plants that I am moving to other locations. Its lightweight and pliable. I also love the great colors of this item.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
These tubs are great and have so many uses. High-quality, durable - I wish I had one in every color and size! They have been helpful for weeding, supply storage, toting items, moving dirt, plus they are attractive and sit on a shelving system that I have on our back patio. I highly recommend them.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This item has many uses: collecting weeds, collecting garden produce, a rinse tub for feet before they go in the pool, collecting cut flowers, and holding garden tools.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
These tubrugs have been a lifesaver for me. I have them in every size, and they can be used for any task you can think of -- throwing the weeds into, piling in extra soil, holding the freshly cut flowers -- you name it, they can be used for it. Also, the colors are so happy and vibrant, and even on cloudy days you feel like you are at the beach when they are near by. I wash them with a hose and they dry quickly and store well. You can't have too many of these!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Can't misplace with this color
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Use it for carrying any and everything. If it isn't too full, the handles come together to make it really easy to carry, but when I overstuff it, it's not a problem to carry. The container's flexibility helps -- but it's not too flexible that everything falls out either.
Also filled with water I use it to hold transplants.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This is great for taking along to deadhead flowers and shrubs!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
My trug carries all my rose maintenance supplies - pruners, pruning saw, small loppers, gloves, cane ties, labeling materials. It's so easy to move from one location to another with everything I need in my colorful trug. I ordered one for my gardening neighbor as well. She loves it too!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use it for mixing soils, mixing fertilizers, holding weeds and cuttings. I love the colors, I love the multiuse..I love, love, love them. I have 3 different sizes, and each is great.

So many uses!

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I was looking forward to trying the tubtrugs, but found I actually loved them once I began using them! They are perfect for jobs like putting weeds in to discard, carrying potting mix, holding my tools, etc. But they are even great for holding my boys' boots, balls, and any other number of items. I'm looking forward to buying more and finding even more uses!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I've used my Tubtrug to hold over plants until I was ready to transplant them; carried water in it and set plants directly in it for watering, used it when weeding and thinning out plants, carried gardening tools in it, and hauled plants from the nursery in it in it which has kept them from falling over in my car.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This is especially good for moving mulch to flower beds - manageable without killing your back.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
this smaller one was given to young mother who loves to garden. to be able to choose color to match recipient personality, makes it a timeless gift. I completed this gesture of kindness with a big cotton bow.
I do believe this will be my 'good thing' to pass along for birthdays, holiday gifts this year.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have three of these & love them. I've used them when transplanting--new soil mix are easy to pour when handles are held together. They hold a surprising amount of weight. The edge can get pretty flat if you need to sweep into it. They're light & big enough to toss into as you deadhead. They are colorful & a pleasure to spot in the bushes. I have one big green & two medium shades of blue. They would make a great present.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I had to spread some extra mulch in the garden area. I just put it in the tub and was able to squeeze the tub and "shake" it around where it was needed. A quick rinse and it was ready for the next project.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I bought this for my mother for Mother's Day and she just loves it. She can toss all of her gardening tools right in it and head to the gardens. It is extremely useful for weeding, transplanting, and picking vegetables. Her favorite thing about it is that she can load it up and carry it easily with one hand.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
The tub is great for dead-heading, weed pulling, and general clean up. Everything gets tossed in--no bags to worry about and the mulch stays picture-perfect. Every gardener should have at least one!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
With 2 tubtrugs I am always hauling something, disposing of something or even watering something. Handles are comfortable and flexable for small hands and make it easy for me to handle. They stack inside of one another on the rare moment that I'm not using them and they are not full of something. The bright colors allow me to find them immediately, inside in storage or out in the yard!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have two in different sizes. They are the greatest, most useful tool in the garden. Love the colors, really brightens the area. You name it and I have used these for that purpose, from picking fruit/vegs, to weeding...catch-all for chipping up branches, transporting...light-weight, user-friendly. At some point I will get more...for myself and gifts for the other garden addicts in my family.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Great for toting around the yard for general clean up. I can't wait to use it during harvest.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I love these tubs and have them in every size. I've repeatedly purchased them as gifts, as the colors make them lots of fun. I use them everyday around the house, especially when working outdoors. While weeding I can then easily squeeze the tubs to "pour" the debrie into the tall brown lawn bags without things spilling. I've used them to haul 5-7" jack rock for a dry river bed, used them as a soap bucket when scrubbing outdoor furniture, etc. I know people that leave them outside and they are very durable.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I love that it is so lightweight and so easy to carry! I love being able to "flex" for carrying it with one hand or two!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
You can use this tub for anything. Carrying dirt, weeds, gardening supplies, etc. Great addition to garden supplies!

These colorful, non destructible, useful tubs can help with gardening, garden parties (ice cooler),
beach tote or toy holder!
I only bought 2 and will order more.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This tub is so lighweight and easy to use. The 7 gallon size is perfect for harvesting vegetables and cut flowers. I like to put various yard (hand) tools and gardening supplies in it to carry around the yard while I'm working. No running back and forth to the garden shed for supplies! I've also used it outside as an ice bucket for chilled drinks.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Other than ordering the wrong color (my mistake) I'm extremely pleased with my Tubtrug. We've used it for many things including as a container for bottled water for a party. But the main use is for gathering veggies from the garden. I can carry everything to the house in one trip. I highly recommend this product.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I bought a 3.5 gallon and a 7 gallon tubtrug. They're really handy. They fit in my radio flyer wagon and make it easy for me to get busy in the yard without having to go back for misplaced items.

I love these tubtrugs. I have all three sizes and love each one. I'm plan on getting more !!! They are perfect when you are weeding.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:

this tub is a great size for small scale gardening. its easy to carry around the yard, even when filled with tools, soil (and the occassional toys). the colors help brighten up even the greyest days and make the chore of gardening cheerful (for those days when you would prefer staying inside)
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I've been using it to collect plant debris and cuttings in an area where I need something that's compact and easily movable. It works perfectly. I don't know how I got along without it.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have searched and searched for a user-friendly method for our recyclables and finally found it with the tubtrugs. One convenient container to hold AND transport our recyclables in the same container! They are lightweight and yet strong enough to even hold/transport the glass bottles we recycle in the largest size tubtrug. They look nice all lined up in our laundry room and easily wipe clean. The only ding (and why I gave them a 4 and not 5 star rating) is the plastic smell they give off when they get hot and for the first few weeks after they arrive. If you have them in a small space, you will want to make sure there is adequate ventilation until the smell goes away. Other than that, I highly recommend them!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
These are really helpful in the garden. They are light weight and you can pull them along with you as you go. Once filled they are flexible to bend in sides to pour contents into a leaf bag easily.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Its small enough to lug my hand tools, knee pads, etc. I also use it to carry trash until I get to the proper place to discard it. I may decided to transplant extra violets to another spot while I'm working, so I Toss them in the trug with everthing else.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This tub is so versatile. I use it when I weed, to transport plants, transporting mulch/dirt, and as a water bucket. What makes it easy to use is that it's lightweight, flexible, and will not rust or dent.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have carried everything from lawn refuse to a batch of kittens, 11 to be exact, from place to place. Very versatile and very attractive colors. Recently used the smallest to make "Dirt" as my son's "groom's cake". It was a HUGE hit!!

I use this tub for EVERYTHING! I can't wait to get more. The fun part is that it comes in great fun colors and different sizes. I look forward to ordering more of this TOTALLY versatile gardening accessory.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Great for mixing potting soil.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I own two tubtrugs - one for mixing my garden soil and to carry it from bed to bed when planting. The other one contains my tools and later on the weeds. Since the tubtrugs are different colors I always know what's where. Also,they bend easily so that they are excellent for carrying around the yard.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Previously we had purchased the black tubtrugs; not very attractive but they were very useful. This year we decided we needed a few more and loved the idea of all the colors they were offered in. When surrounded by the colors of the garden, who wants drab black trugs? We now have trugs in cheerful colors just like our flowers in our garden. And in Washington state, we need to be surrounded by cheerful colors.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use the tubtrug as i walk around my house, pulling weeds and picking up debris. I leave my tools in it ready for when i have a few minutes. The colors are so bright and it cleans up well.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have both a 7 and 3 1/2 gallon Trugtub. The 7 gallon seems to be the most versitile. It's big enough for around the yard, but when full, not too heavy to pick up. The 3 1/2 gallon is great for smaller jobs. It also seems sturdy enough to withstand much wear and tear.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Just a great general carry-all for me to use in my flower gardening.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This is the perfect size for harvesting a salad for the family's dinner. Can also be used for picking a few weeds, or use to add compost around your plants.

Tubtrug is very versatile! Love it for hauling around gardening tools, plants; then hose it out and store stuff. Flexible but feels sturdy. Love it!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I am so happy with my Tubtrug! It carries my tools to the garden, holds plants to be transplanted, mixes dirt and then washes clean with the hose. The flexible construction makes it easy to carry. I even bought one for my 8 year old niece. She loves hers as much as I love mine.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have a demand water heater, and use this in shower to collect water until temp is right. Then easily carry to garden and flower beds. Just hated seeing all that wasted water.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I am always looking for some container to gather my harvest from the garden. I also needed a bright and fun basket to carry pruning leftovers to the compost. This container is perfect for the job. It is a cheery color and washes clean every time. I should have purchased one of every color! My next one will be purple, no yellow, no maybe red!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I don't have any yet for gardening but I am going to order some!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I love using this tub around my garden with my daily weeding. Received it as a gift and then bought one for a gift! It is sturdy, easy to tote to fill with plant clippings/weeds so I can just dump it in a bigger garbage pail when it fills up. Then just hose it out when done.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Great for picking tomatoes! Easy to carry even when full.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I have four of these trugs in two sizes and I use them when I move plants and when I'm weeding and deadheading flowers.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
The seven-gallon size is perfect for lugging compost to the perennial beds and garden debris from the beds back to the compost bin. Any bigger would run the risk of straining my back. And the bright color means I can't misplace it. Have only had it for a month, so can't tell how well it will hold up.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
The tubtrugs are great! I use them in my garden as well as around the house. These lightweight, durable tubs are so versatile I use them for just about everything.

It has multiple uses in the garden. I carry it with me when pruning or pulling weeds to throw waste in. Also useful to carry cut flowers or produce from garden into the house.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I bought this size specifically to gather produce that I pick in the garden. I am part of an organic coop and when I go to pick my produce I need something sturdy to use in the field for produce, like tomatoes, peppers, etc. This works great! Also nice for hauling debris, such as when I am deadheading my flowers.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Whether the gardener is over 50 or under five, this is a great size. The tubtrug has so many uses. My grandkids use them to carry everything. When a sudden Colorado blizzard interrupted our early garden clean up, they even used them to tote snow for building the snowman!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This will be perfect for hauling in garden veggies.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I am finding so many uses for this handy sized Tubtrug. I use it so often that I now also have the medium size. I keep them both really busy with gardening chores, and hauling dirt, leaves, etc. to my veggie garden. If I didn't have them, I would be lost!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
The tubs are used to feed the horses and the different colors allow us to remember which tub goes to which horse. Could use more color options in the 7 gallon size. We have another older tub the same size that seems a bit better with regard to the handles. Ask me again in a year how the tubs are working for us!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Gave as a gift to my Aunt who has issues with her hands....she loves it!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Since I am a beginning gardener I have adapted my tub to storing my various supplies as I move from area to area within my yard. It is versatile and colorful making it easy to find when I move from one spot to the next.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
When I first started using this product it came in two sizes and one color, basic black. I think that all six of mine are between eight and six years old. To date I have not destroyed one!!! I frankly can't imagine what I would do without them!!! I use them to carry soil, water and garden refuse to the compost pile. I catch rainfall in them and have even filled them with soil and temporarily planted seedlings in them during hardening off.... I am excited about the smaller sizes (getting older) and love the new colors!!!

I have several of these , different colors, different sizes. I actually bought them as a" gift bag" for grandchildren and filled them up with a couple of gifts but they use them for their easy access personal toy containers...each child has a different color!!
I use them to mix my potting soil.
I use them in the house when I clean out cupboards to separate items for donations or saving.
I use them even when I clean out the freezer to put my frozen food in while defrosting.
I use them for sort anything from flower bulbs or a small one for my everyday garden hand tools...just pick up the trug and head out to the garden/planting area.
I use them in the car when visiting the garden centers to keep my seats and trunk from getting dirty with the containers of plants. They don't tip over and I simply rinse them out when home and plants are hauled off to the garden.
I use them to wash out the planted pots in the fall...soaking them in the trugs to loose the dried soil. They also work when having garage sales and look fantastic lined up along the driveway!!!
I can't live without them and plan to order MORE!!

I wasn't at all sure I wanted to buy this! The employee I was talking to said it was a must. That it had 100 uses, so under somewhat of duress I said ok. I like that it's lightweight and easy to handle but I don't really care for the fact that it bends so easily.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
These are fabulous. I"m a disabled person, missing my right leg, so to get out in the yard and to use it for hauling weeds,plants,and carring fruit,and Vegetables. They are the best. My husband likes them also for picking up the fruit off the lawn.
Thinking about getting a couple more. I bought the last ones for my daughter, she has just started gardening. So I thought I would share everything that I had gotten from you before with her.

I bought this and the 3 1/2 gallon. I like the fact
that they are lightweight. I have a hill in my backyard and these lightweight containers makes it easy for me to drag up and down.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use my Tubtrugs throughout my house and my business. They are not only durable and light weight -- they look good as well. The bright colors are perfect for use in my business. I fill them with dog and other pet toys that are for sale and customers are drawn to the colorful tubs full of toys. As a gardening tool, they are fabulous. Since they are so light weight, once filled with soil or brush, the container isn't adding to the overall weight.

Sometimes my horse riding equipment gets muddy, no worries when I throw it all in here. It washes out clean again and no stains like the canvas totes.

This is a really useful tub. I use it to hydrate coir bricks. I bought my mother one and she also uses it for going to the flower market.

I just got this item for Christmas, but have already used it - and it isn't even gardening season yet. One is used to bring fire wood inside, the other holds toys for the grandkids.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
My mother, who taught me everything about gardening all my life, still spends her summer days in her garden despite having crippling arthritis. At age 79 Mom is really hard to buy for when it comes to gifts. She pretty much has all she needs. I hit the jackpot by buying her items from Gardners Supply that make her time in the garden easier on her. The 11 gallon Tubtrug I bought her for her birthday is now company to the 7 gallon Tubtrug I bought her for Christmas. I gave her her gift early in the fall and she put it to use immediately! Couldn't wait for Christmas! She raves about how easy they are to use -lightweight, easy to manuver, etc..
Thank you for offering such great, nicely priced, useful items!

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
A trug is the first thing I grab when I go out to our garden. I use them to gather fruits and vegetables. They're easy to drag around after me as I weed and prune. One is always under my outdoor gardening sink to catch the water as it drains out so that I can throw the water over the garden along with any dirt it has collected. I particularly like the way they nest so that they take up little space and the variety of bright colors which actually make some of my gardening chores more enjoyable. I've also used them to carry around my gardening tools and plants that I'm transplanting. We like them so much we've decided to give a set to our daughter who is just starting out gardening.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
This is the most useful garden tool I own!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I love these for so many reasons all listed above. However, do understand that if left out in the cold, their handles will crack and the sides split. I learned this the hard way.

I use this tub for everything. It is nearly indestructible. Plan to buy more-for variety of sizes.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
Not only are these the most colourful trugs ever, but a true help in the garden. I haul every sort of garden need, from soil to tools, plus a beverage when the weather is hot. They are so very useful indoors due to the non-damaging material. And don't forget, they are lovely just sitting there doing nothing!

The perfect size for harvesting goodies out of the garden. And for weeding around the shrubs.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 7 Gallon:
I use the smallest one to carry my garden tools with me as I work in the yard. The middle sized one is for the debris from the trees and yard, and the largest size is for when we go to buy bulk oak mulch and need a bushel size. Great find!! Am giving one as a Christmas gift, too.
