Really like the toughness of the trug and how easy it is to tote around.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use the tub to haul plants, clippings and potting mix. I'm 5 ft tall and the flexiblility of the tub is my favorite. I ordered all three sizes in different colors. I also love the colors. I never want to be without these tubs!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Considering I found this tub in a local big box do it yourself center for less money, I use this for when I trim the roses or other plants to gather the cuttings and take it to the green barrel. It is lightweight and easy to use and I really like it.

I have already used this item for a half dozen or so gardening and cleanup projects. Definitely a useful item.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Great for mixing soil- weeding - pouring soil into containers etc
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I bought these and sent them to my daughter in Colorado. She told me she absolutely loves them, and with her garden, a lot of yard and 2 small children, they're perfect!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Right size for me, I'm not too big.
Love the color!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These are great. I also purchased a 7 gallon size. They will hold anything in the garden and are lightweight. I have already used them for weeding, potting, and taking soil to the cemetery for planting.
A great edition to my tools.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Right now I am using this for temporary storage so that I don't have to cart things back and forth from the garage.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I own two trugs in this size. I'm back to buy three more.
I use the ones I have in the garden. I mix my soil mixes in them. I tote compost and mulch in them (no wheelbarrow). I carry seedlings in them. I haul shrubs around in them when I'm transplanting. Sometimes I even put my daughter in one to make her laugh.
I can't say enough good things about these. They're strong. They're long-lived if stored out of sunlight (three years old and as good as the day I bought them). They're comfortable to use. They're easy to store. The flexibility allows me (petite woman) to lift quite a bit of weight, because it keeps it really close to my body. They just meld to you when you lift them. The handles never cut into your palms or pinch like 5-gallon-buckets. These are better than 5-gallon buckets in every possible way: larger capacity, yet they somehow feel lighter, even full, and are easier to store because they nest and bend. Tubtrugs are the greatest!
I'm buying my next 3 size large to use as hampers for laundry. I've been using big tupperware things for ages, but I hate them. I know these will be much more comfortable. Each one will hold about a load of laundry. I want a small size, too, for harvesting my veggies. I know it will live longer than the wooden basket I used to use.
You could also use these for all sorts of other things. Put ice in them and stick drink bottles in them when having a party. Keep one in a play area and use it as a toy box. Have a bunch of awkward stuff to carry? Throw it in and make it easy! Wash your dog in one. Heck, they're food safe, so you can even eat or drink from them.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have already used it to move transplants to other areas of our garden, to get to various bird baths in all parts of the yard, to haul weeds to our fire pit or burn pit. It is a great product and i also plan to use it for as a cooler for 4th of July, am planning on ordering a blue one too, i just love it! HAVE BEEN WANTING TO ORDER ONE FOR YEARS !! Seems very sturdy !
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
While I love the totes, I was surprised to see them cheaper in my home town vs ordering [...] Next time I'll shop around first.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I can mix almost a whole tub of potting soil, soilless mix, etc and still carry it. It's flexible enough the hold both handles in one hand, yet is not flimsy. The colors are too cool; may buy another one just to get a different color. I can put my gardening tool bag, fertilizer, gloves, seeds, water bottle, insect repellant, even small pots of seedlings, etc in the tub at the same time and have everything I need as I move to different beds.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Used it to mix up miscellaneous bags of potting soil and plant food, then was able to easily pour the soil into my planters.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
This container holds so much! Whether you're puling old growth out of flower/herb gardens or needing a place to statsh the pots in one place from your new flowers and herb that you plant. I could keep going and take my work with me around my garden and only make one or two dumps instead of multiples.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Yellow is my favorite color --- this tub is not yellow. Chartreuse, maybe? The tub itself is wonderful and I own a couple in other colors that are much prettier.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have not had this long, so the only thing I used it for right now is laundry. I love the flexibility of the basket. I also plan to use in trunk of the car to keep groceries from rolling around.
My husband does the yard work and if he wants one - he'll have to get his own!! I'm not giving mine up:)
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
We love the trugs - all sizes. We use them on our country property for everything. We gave one to a friend who started using it to haul firewood and he was using the trug as the wood holder so he needed a second one!
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have these in several sizes and all are useful. I take one when I'm weeding in the front which makes transfer to the back compost easy. I use them instead of buckets for water and wet soil. When my husband first saw how many I ordered (5 in 3 sizes), he asked why I needed them. Now he's stolen two to take to the boat! All around great product.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I was ordering a second tub. My other tub was bought over 20 years ago and I wasn't sure of the size, so went with the 11 gallon. It's really huge so one has to be careful not to load it up too much so that it isn't too heavy to lift.
On quality of materials, am concerned about durability. Material is fairly stiff, and with UV exposure, will become brittle (besides 100+ AZ temperatures degrading the material). Will definitely store in the shade.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
great basket but pricey.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These buckets are flexible and wonderful to use!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I don't go in the garden without my tubtrug - I use it for holding weeds I pluck, I mix my garden soil and compost in it when I'm planting, I use it in my car for transporting plants, etc.....a wonderful item. It cleans up easily and the great colors don't hurt either!!I am going to purchase the smaller ones also!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Collecting debris, light weight, flexible
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
very useful tool
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These work really well for collecting lawn clippings, dirt, etc. Good for mixing potting soil, and easily pouring. Just don't fill them too heavy, otherwise I think the handles would break off. I am very happy with them.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love this bucket! I bought it to use in the trunk of my car, but I've been using it a lot in the garden, and I love how flexible it is--one of the things that's great is that the sides are sturdy, yet flexible, so you can mix soil in it, then pour it easily out into a container by folding in the sides a little bit and making a spout. It's very well made--I love it!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I live on the island of Guam where it's hot and humid year round. The tubtrug stands up well to these extreme conditions without cracking or fading like other plastic tubs I have used. I love all the color choices!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
The garden tubtrug has truly become my favorite gardening tool, I don't go out into the gardens without it. I have used it to water, carry potting soil, when I deadhead, and when I divide plants. Just a ton of uses.

I have used this for potting plants, spreading fertilizer, transporting plants, packing ice & cold drinks; transporting clothes; this item can be used for many things.

These are great! I use them for everything. Love that after being filled with dirt covered produce I can simply rinse it out.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I'dlike to see gallon lines inside. It would make mixing fertilzers and ground soaks so much easier. I use mine daily and love the versatility of it.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
So light, yet holds so much! I take it deep into my flower beds where I can't take the cart. The bright colors are so cheerful (and easy to locate if I forget where I left it!)
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have used these tubtrugs for years in the garden,and now our daughter is finding them invaluable for dealing with all of the little items involved with her baby. She loves having these colourful helpers all around the house for his clothes, and toys. We have used them for transporting Christmas gifts and as Easter baskets too.

Great for weeds, pruning, moving plants for transplanting, filling with compost when planting. . . .
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I used this to mix and lighten potting soil for some transplanting I needed to do. I like that I can rinse it out and use it for something else. Also that it is open and easier to mix in than a bucket. I plan to get another to rinse my garden tools in.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use the Tubtrug for weeding beds and other yard work. It is light-weight and flexible. I like the way I can bring the handles together after filling it to take to the compost pile. I can easily carry two Tubtrugs at a time. I liked my first one so much that I ordered one for my gardening sister-in-law and another for myself.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have used them indoors and outdoors. They are so versatile.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use this for weeding in the garden. It is also great to fill with potting soil to pour into the containers because it is flexible.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I fill it with water and put transplants into the tub until I get them into the ground. Use it to carry compost. Use it for holding clippings when I trim the rose bushes and the list could go on forever

I use my Tubtrugs all the time in many different ways. They are great for mixing soil and compost,as a trash container while weeding, hauling items around the yard, storing items until needed. They come in many pretty colors.

This tub is wonderful to have beside you as you weed the garden. Very light weight and durable!

Great. Hundreds of uses for this tub.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Bought this to put clippings, etc in as I go around my garden but it's also great for potting soil when you're potting new plants. I didn't end up with soil everywhere like I usually do. I also bought the 7 gallon and now am considering getting the 3 gallon. Love handles and the flexibility of the tub! Am really sold on this!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
The Tubrug was perfect for use while cleaning out my flower beds.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I Love My Tubtrug! I give it my Highest Rating & Recommendation. Super light wieght! Easy to move even when full of Flowers, Vegies, Leaves, Etc. I Bought 4, Now I want more! So will you!!!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
We use the trugs to hold pulled weeds, clippings from plant material, soil mix for planting, and water to carry to thirsty plants.
The bright colors easy to spot in the landscape. That keeps them from being left behind at a job site.
The handles break off after about two growing seasons.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use these trugs (I have several different sizes in several different colors) in my gardening. I carry mulch, compost and water in them. I use them when I am first setting up for the day in getting all I need to the site I will work at. I also got a lovely purple one for my first granddaughter due in May for use in her room. There are lots of possible uses -- to collect her dirty clothes or for a quick pick-up of her toys or for ease of use in moving her toys back to her bedroom! The wide range of colors is a plus and allows for more uses indoors in lots of rooms. I plan to buy more for indoor use - corral cleaning supplies, to store odds and ends in the linen closet, etc!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
This purchase adds to my Tubtrug collection! I use one for gardening and one for indoor household recycling. I plan to buy a smaller size to help organize my quilting tools. I have given them as gifts to a school teacher and another gardener and they are loved by all!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Good product, just too expensive.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
great for pruning, carrying mulch/soil. Light weight. Flexible so you can pour from it.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Got our first one about 5 years ago that we use in the house as a paper basket. Purple color, my favorite. Had to get one this year to use in the green house. Another purple one. Also plan on using it to tote veggies from the garden.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Excellent for garden debris. No weight to tub so it's easy to fill. If water getsnin, it's easy to lay over on side to remove. Bought two sizes and use exclusively.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I started out with one 11 gal. tubtrug. I use it for everything in the garden! It is just the right size for me to fill with mulch and still lift it to carry around the garden filling in bare spots in the flower beds. It's also great for clippings, dead leaves, etc. when cleaning up the garden. My husband discovered how great it was and started using it, so I bought 2 more, plus the smaller 3 1/2 gal. trug, which I can use as a bucket to haul water, or my garden tools.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I usually use old laundry baskets, which are open sided, and can get messy. This basket is good looking, lightweight, flexible and carries quite a lot of weeds or flowers, depending on what I'm doing in the garden. You can even carry "dirt" in it or whatever. Washable and looks good. Nice product!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love this product and use it all the time. The only complaint is I have to buy new ones every year. The handles break and then I can't use it any more
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These tubs are just the right size for my wife to use. The handles also make them easy to carry and she likes the colors.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Fantastic to lug around tools, weeds, plants,etc. Great colors to spot easily in the garden too. They've been left outside a few times and haven't been destroyed by our Maine winters yet. Great for keeping beer cold. Love,love,love these!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I like that the tub is flexible enough that I can grip both handles in one hand, enabling me to carry two tubs at one time. On the down side, one tub cracked after two season's use.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love using my tub trug to haul leaves to the compost bin or to use as top dressing to keep the weeds at bay. I loved the one I bought last year so much that I got the next size up this year to help out with bigger chores. I've loaned it to my neighbor and got raves from him about it. It certainly is handy to carry the composted soil to the flower beds, too. I just cannot say enough nice things about both of mine. Love the pretty colors, too!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I already know that the tubtrug will be the first thing I grab when going out to do any gardening. It holds a lot and it is so easy to carry. This product works much better than the standard bucket I was using before. Very Gardener Friendly.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Love these things...definately getting more sizes soon!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have two tubs that I use for weekly gardening and found them the best on the market. I have given them as gifts and are loved by the receivers. I did have handles break off but the tub was replaced. That was unusual because they are extremely sturdy and pliable. I love them.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use these tubs around the barn, especially cleaning stalls. Hold plenty of manure & sawdust without being too heavy. Also great for collecting waste hay that I've raked up. I keep one in my horse trailer for manure accidents. They are safe around livestock since there is no metal bail for the animals to get a foot caught in or cut by.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
It was great for two summers, but the sides broke using it this winter. Still a good product; I just wish it had lasted longer. It's hard to recycle plastic.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Can be used for many things!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Have bought these before and will keep doing so. Love 'em!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I like to "winter over" my bulbs in these tubs. Perfect size & the handles make it easy to move & store. You can even stack them!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I liked this tub so much, I bought one for a 40th wedding anniversary gift (ruby red) , in the large size, and three in the med size for dog tog tub, car tub, and baby shower gift.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
it is new and so far have just used for weeding. it works great to carry large loads
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
This tub has a million uses. Very glad I got it, will likely get some more sizes and colors.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Could not run a garden business without them. Can water, mix, fill, dump, haul and load with them. The different colors are not just fun, they also help in identifying projects or plants ("Let's put the annuals in the green bucket and the tree in the purple.") They take a beating and go to work every day with a smile. What's not to love!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use them for watering in places my hoses do not reach, mixing soil for my containers with fertilizer and amendments, soaking dried out plants in small pots bought from the store from the bottom up, hauling compost, wood chips, mulch, you name it, carrying small pots of plants bought from garden centers or ordered from the mail to where I indent to plant them or to shade or sun -- all sorts of uses. They are incredibly handy. And during dry times I leave them out to collect rain water and use that to water my garden.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have a small patio garden, I bought several 11 Gal.for cleaning the patio, hauling to the trash and even as a laundry basket. Very handy.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
My grandchildren started using my first one as a little pool. I have since had to buy one for each so they don't fight over them. In the off season they have become wonderful toy containers. Now I have to buy one for me to replace the original.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These tub trugs are the single most helpful tool I use in gardening. Weeding, carrying tools & seeds, transplanting - all are made easier with these great tubs!!! I own more than one - can't have too many of them.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Can't be left out in bad weather
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Ideal for laundry chores
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use it when going through newspapers, junk mail and catalogs - makes it easy to get it to the recycling bin.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have had 2 - 7 gallon tubs for over 4 yrs. Love the bright colors working around the garden. Easy to grab and use. Hope I don't try to carry too much with the 11 gal version!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
this is a great way to carry the wet recycling items to the outside can without dripping on the floor. also good for carrying a bunch of small items..like christmas gifts or stuff in the back of the car.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I bought my 1st tubtrug (large) the 1st season you offered it. It spent its winters in my unheated IN garage. Last year I moved to MT, and I was using it in the winter to take feed to my chickens. It literally fell apart one day-- the handles broke off and it cracked. Result of too much cold weather, or do they just deteriorate over time?
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
the original trugs were black and heavier, but as it turns out, these are equally useful and just seeing their cheerful colors makes them easy to find where you left it. they are definitely a worthy addition to anyone, since they have so many uses.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These trugs are fantastic in all sizes. I use mine for weeding, soaking houseplants, carrying laundry, clothes,books-whatever! They are light enough that they don't add much weight to what you are carrying. I have given several as gifts over the years, and EVERYBODY has loved them. I am 61, and my arm strength isn't as good as it once was-these keep me from trying to carry too much. They will crack if left out in freezing weather-but with that type of plastic, I would never leave it out all winter.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use this for all gardening and cleanup tasks - weeding, moving shrubs and perennials, soaking new plants. There are so many uses!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love my trug!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
We have several of these I use in gardening and as we were looking for a large, useful item to contain a Christmas gift, the Tubtrug came to mind. With all the wonderful colors and sizes, you are assured of finding just the right one. Of course, our gift was a hit and the fact the the container will be around for many more uses is just a bonus.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use it in the garden to hold weeds because it's easier than moving larger container in smaller areas. Also use it to soak my hanging baskets.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use for garden cleanup, carrying tools, etc. to the garden and back, and harvesting. The wide opening is great, as you can throw a handful of weeds into it and rarely miss. The handles don't break off or get bent like 5-gallon food containers. The colors are just plain fun. The only disadvantage I have found is that you can't turn them over and sit on them, but that is a small concern and there are other things to sit on.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
My most common use for this item is hauling weeds but I also use it for toting tools, supplies and sometimes even water!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I've bought these in all sizes and use them constantly in my gardening and pool entertainment especially for immersing seed starter pots, feeding potted plants, hauling almost anything, but do find that they will shatter/crack in very cold weather.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have several that I keep going all summer long with compost, soil mixes, garden clippings, etc. I also clean them out and use with bags of ice to cool down beverages for outdoor gatherings. Smaller ones are used to corral hats and mittens by the back door in the winter. I find them so handy that I gave several as Christmas gifts this year, when they were quickly put to use toting presents home!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use this all the time in the yard. Was disappointed that the one handle broke when I was using/abusing it in cold weather, but like the product enough to buy another one. My advise is just be gentle with it in the coldest of weather
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Easy to carry when picking up sticks, pine cones and gumballs from yard and patio; more handy than a tarp for small clean up jobs.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Heavy duty, well made, flexible. I can think of a 1,000 tasks I'll use this for. I bought three sizes, they stack together to save space and I'll always have the right size for each job. My husband is happy that these tubs are replacing my usual pile of old empty boxes in the garage! He would be less happy if he knew the price I paid for them. That is their drawback - quite expensive. Provided they serve me well for years to come, I'm ok with the cost but not if they do not hold up to typical heavy gardening use.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
We have received these products as gifts, for gifts, and for our own use. It will be interesting to develop primary uses for the two smaller tubtrubs in 2011.
"practically" and " nearly indestructible" in Gardener's merchhandising clearly define our experience in the handles falling off in cold weather. The affected tubtrub will find new uses in 2011. Requested image will be sent later.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
So far I have used it for hauling small plants, dirt, water.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use one for collecting recyclable material, another for collecting trimmings from the yard clean up. I'm planning to use two small bins for my grandchildren's toys when they visit.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Good for harvesting apples, hauling compost, potatoes, carrying tools, any number of uses. Easy to clean and store.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
In less than a week, I have used my Tubtrug to collect items out of the car to take inside, transfer laundry, carry New Year's fireworks, carry a child (for entertainment of that child!), and collect pulled weeds and trimmings from the rose bush.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I've used this for gardening tasks, hauling dirt, hauling construction tools and then the debris; they clean up very easily. I use three for recycling containers in the mud room. My grandkids wash up in them from the beach; we use them to ice drinks for parties. I gave them to relatives for Xmas, and they were a most successful gift. I'll be getting more.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love these! Bought one for my dad, loved it so much I had to buy one for myself!! Great variety of colors. Many great uses too!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
When I combined this with gardening gloves, small gardening tools, pretty bow. It was the perfect gift for a friend who loves to garden.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Useful for moving things from one floor to another, easier to use than a rigid laundry basket, and great for taking recyclables outside, not to mention gathering leaves for the composter.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
This garden accessory is cute and very useable in the garden and around the home. A very handy item!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I really like the flexibility of the tub.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I left one out in freezing weather. Found it had broken into two pieces. It was left empty, so breaking not due to expanding liquids inside.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
i LOVE these trugs. the big one is a perfect size for hauling a load of dirt, or shavings, or weeds, or whatever. It holds about the max amount i could possibly carry, and the flexible sides make carrying it, and pouring it out most easy! alas, I was so sad that i dumped it out yesterday and the handles snapped off and it cracked down the side. it can't handle the winter temperatures so you'll need a winter solution.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
It's perfect for what I need! I use it for clippings and dead heads while sprucing up my garden!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I put those huge bags of kitty food in mine and it prevents my hungry critters from tearing the bag open prematurely and also I don't lose any morsels while scoping it out into bowls. It also looks good in my mud room.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Absolutely can't be without these! I now have 5 of them and they are indispensible. Gardening is so much easier.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
This tubtrug is a gift, because at another master gardener's I saw several of them around and figured anything that she would have several of was worth trying.
It going to make a great tub for carrying presents too!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I just love this tubtrug! It is extremely versatile, attractive and useful. I use this large one to collect weeds, carry my hand gardening tools, collecting fallen twigs in the yard, and I could go on and on. It even works well as a "foot pool" to cool off in the summer (I sit on the patio with my feet in a tubtrug filled with cool water.)
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
we like to keep one outside the back door to dump compost-to-be from the kitchen into it. when its full, we take it back to the compost pile. Another is outside the garage for the handfuls of weeds/clippings that we always seem to gather on our way to do something in the yard.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
It's really great, but the largest are too big for me ONLY
because I have back problems. I'll need to use the smaller
versions. Otherwise, fantastic idea: lightweight, durable,
colorful (nice for chores). I'll be giving two for gifts this
year. I'll be ordering the smaller ones for myself.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I sort materials for delivery to the recycling center. Harvest vegetables in it. Gather weeds, etc in it. It is sized right and does not add much weight to the load. Put wood scraps in it in the shop.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I am enjoying the roomy size of this tub. At present it is holding my knitting and quilting items. Come spring I will take it outside for garden use - can't wait!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I've been using this trug as a shopping tote.
It works great for meats and other cold, wet foods but the size and shape are kind of clumsy to handle. The best thing is that when you get it home you can hose it down in your kitchen sink and it's ready to for more shopping.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
LIGHT WEIGHT, EASY TO GRAB
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I am giving these to my daughter-in-laws for Christmas with their present inside. Great tote.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I carry tools, soil, water, leaves and plant trimmings it this tub. I have used one to heel in a fruit tree and berry starts. I also have used one to house a water lilly all winter in my garage. To carry scraps out to the compost pile. You get the idea, these tubs have 1000 uses.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Color sturdy good-sized container with uses.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
We purchased this as a gift for an 82 year old. She wanted a soft laundry basket. We have our own and use them for gardening (they're food grade), hose storage, and all sorts of random tasks.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Love having a few... one in shed and one in garage.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I should have gotten more the uses are endless
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I actually purchased four of these to store my children's toys. The 11-gal version is the perfect size for the kids to tote around... and they loved picking out their own colors! I will likely be buying more in the near future... because when they're done with holding toys, I'll be using for groceries, etc. Great!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I am building a greenhouse and cannot wait to use the tubtrugs I bought. I think they will have many uses.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I absolutely love tubtrugs. The latest one I purchased is a gift, but I use my own 11-gallon tub almost every day that I am in the garden. It is especially useful when pruning shrubs, dead-heading, cutting back perennials, or removing annuals and vegetable plants in the fall. Apart from my soil knife, the tubtrug is probably my most frequently-used piece of gardening equipment.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Great for garden, home, or travel.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I've owned a set of each size for many years and have given them as gifts. I have found so many uses for them: carrying leaves and cuttings from the garden, trash in the garage, easy carry & pour bucket for watering, and on & on... They are fantastic!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I've had mine for several years an just recently the handle broke at the joint. But it still works and may turn it into a planter next year.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
This is a great product at a reasonable price. It is great for all applications.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have used my trugtub almost daily since getting it a few weeks ago. I have used it to harvest vegetables of all kinds, wash my root crops and carry vegetable scraps to my compost site. It is light weight and flexible so you can pour water out of it without the vegetables falling out. It also does not leak - so it is great for carry vegetables in and out of the house. I look forward to seeing how well it will hold up when I use it for an entire gardening season.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
This is the second time I have ordered this product. I currently use my new order to carry clothes to the line. Clothes don't snag, wet items don't drip water on the floor, (so no falls). Better than a clothes basket as it bends when walking out the door. Love this product.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have used these for countless things and I love them.The colors are great.I got two different sizes and three different colors and I love them all.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love these tubs. I just wish I could purchase lots more. I also gave one to my neice this past Christmas and she loves it too. We both have small farms and they are so handy!!!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have a smaller tub & thought I would love
this larger one, too. It's just a little too
bulky for me to handle when it's filled. My
husband, however, has no problem. Overall,
these tubs are great & I would recommend them
highly.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use them (I bought two) for garden harvest and cleanup, and for carrying mulch. I do have a concern that the easy to use handles may not last, especially for carrying anything heavier than the above mentioned.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Use it to dead head flowers and tote things around the garden.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I fill it way too fast. A larger size would be nice.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I purchased two of the 11 gallon tubtrugs, and 2 of the very smallest. These are wonderful! Durable, comfortable to lug around, and they really are great for anything you could dream up. The big ones have already helped me harvest onions and serve as ice buckets for chilling beer and wine.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Love these tubs for lugging soil, compost, garden harvest, hand tools, and water balloons. Have even used to mix liquid fertilizer. Great also for storing toys or recycling items. The first tub purchased is at least 5 years old and still going strong.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD! BEST BUY OF THE YEAR!
COULD NOT GARDEN WITHOUT IT. IN THE BARN EACH HORSE HAS HIS OWN COLOR TRUG AT FEEDING TIME.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
We purchased these for an anniversary picnic. I was able to find them in the bride's wedding colors! One held ice and beverages and the other wrangled the kiddie toys. They were decorative and useful. We plan to repurpose them for recycling and assorted yard tasks in the future, although I don't know if I'd want to get them all dirty!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have four of these of various sizes and they are so useful! I use them to carry water from the rain-barrel, dirt and mulch to the garden, veggies from the garden, tools from one place to another... I pull one along in the garden and fill it with weeds I am pulling. I set them out at the edge of the deck to collect rainwater.
They are lightweight, colorful and attractive so even if I have a project half finished and I leave them out they don't look sloppy, they just add a delightful splash of color in the garden.
I've been using them like crazy for two years and they still look great.
They clean up well too, so I fill them with ice and beverages and set them on the deck for parties.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use this to collect garden clippings. It's easy to carry, and plenty big - but quickly got white stains on the inside from the milkweed clippings that didn't wash off. Doesn't look so pretty anymore!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use it for a multitude of gardening facets. Its lightweight and easy to carry.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
There are so many uses for these beautiful tubs. We find ourselves reaching for them every time we need to tote a load of anything. Durable and handy, no garden should be without one!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
This is such a handy gardening item that I've got several in different colors and it seems like they are always being used. On the rare occasion when they are not in use, they add a spot of color just sitting around waiting for their next job.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Perfect size for those BIG clean up jobs and it easily dumps in a 42gal construction trash bag without spilling. The bright color makes it easy to find clear across the yard.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Gave these as presents to avid gardeners and they just LOVE them. Great to have so many color choices. Will be ordering more!

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I purchased this product because I needed something to lug weeds from parts of yard and garden to our compost pile. The tub is really sturdy, yet it is so flexible that it does not require super-human hand strength to hold both handles in one hand (which has been a problem I have had with other plastic tubs). It is also sturdy enough to move 10 gallons of soil without breaking the handles. Another added bonus - the colors are really nice.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Every garden need them

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use it for gardening, mainly hauling weeds and cuttings out, but also to carry supplies around. It was hard to tell from the picture and description how big an 11 gallon tub is. Dimensions in inches would help. I really like it and will probably buy at least one more.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Great for weeding or heading perennials! Easy to tote and empty into my yard waste bin!

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Pretty colors that won't get used by my boyfriend! Larger than expected (didn't realize how big 11 gallons it!). Great for lugging all sorts of stuff (from gardening to picnicking - washes easily).

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Got my first trug 5-6 years ago and has become an essential tool.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have three sizes of the tubtrug and I use all three constantly. I even ordered another set in the three sizes because my husband kept taking them to use for various chores. They are great for weeding the flower gardens and the additional set I use in the vegetable garden to carry all the goodies that are rippening up to eat. Definitely a must have item!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I bought two of these from you years ago when you first offered them and have found them extremely useful for many chores. You then offered only size large, in black. I prefer black to garish colors. What have you got against it?

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These 11 gallon Tubtrugs are the best things going. I couldn't garden without mine. I have two that are in constant use and the only reason I need new ones after many years is that a friend's dog got at the handles. They hold clippings, manure, water, worms, you-name-it. I even used one to help me save a hyperthermic chicken.
When they were new and not totally dirty like they are now, we filled them with ice and beer for parties. I have already ordered some for Christmas gifts this year as no gardener should be without these.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
We have a lot of gardening and not all of it is accessible with our wheeled garden cart for one reason or another. The trug is light weight, small enough to get anywhere, large enough to be useful, and strong enough to handle what it may be asked to do. It's one of the best garden purchase I've made.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I can't think of anything that I don't like about the Tubtrugs! If I had room, I would have 1 of each size in multiple colors!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These tubs are great for clippings and for carrying from one spot to the next. Easy to grab as tub is bendable and lightweight. Loved it so much I bought one for my daugther who is just starting with gardening.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These trugs are great for carrying just about everything- weeds, compost, mulch, garden tools. They are light and flexible and easy to fill. I like mine so much that I now give them as gifts to gardening friends.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These are very useful for all kinds of things -- collecting weeds in the garden; toting around new plants, fertilizer, etc.; keeping things organized in the house; laundry basket; and on and on and on.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I own two of each size and am delighted with their usefulness for several gardening uses. They are a pleasure to use.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love the pretty lavender trug and have used it to collect yard clippings. I plan to use it for beverages with ice on our next BBQ party. It is much prettier than the plastic tub. It is light weight to carry around while doing yard work. When use with ice and beverage bottles and cans, it should not be carried around less the handles break.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These trugs are just incredibly useful because they are so strong and flexible. My sister and I started listing all the things we use them for, besides that they are great for gardening, like catching water from the shower in a drought, carrying wet scuba and swimming gear, holding drinks and ice for a party, using for a guest to soak her foot and much more. One of the most used items in our garage.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
It's just the right size for clippings from pruning. Light weight for me to use, as I'm a bit disabled and can't lift heavy items. Really like the product.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Found them great to store items at home and then use them to transport items to our second home. Also use them to bring back dirty laundry on trips in car.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love these tubs. They are lightweight and easy to clean, and I use mine mostly to gather and carry weeds, dirt or my harvest when gardening. They are tougher than they look, however, and proved extremely useful for corraling tools (even the sharp ones) during a deck-building project. My father was helping me with that project, and was so taken with them that I bought him one as a father's day gift. The only drawback I could envision is that the handle is a bit narrow and might be uncomfortable if you were carrying heavy loads over long distances.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
My husband and I both enjoy gardening. We started with one Tubtrug but soon realized we needed 2 because we both use it alot. It is so handy.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
It can be used for so many things When it's party time I have used it for trash, ice bucket,and a carry all from freezer and refrig to outside.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Many, many uses. May need another one.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I really enjoy using the tubtrugs. They are so versatile, so easy to use. I bought one of each size and all three have been in use! So much easier on the hands than the metal buckets I did use. Emphasis on the DID use!!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use this size for my weeds, and the small size for my tools
When I'm done - one goes inside the other ready for the next time
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I bought two -- they're great for all sorts of carrying and collecting. Excellent also for collecting seeds by shaking the seed-heads in them, discarding the pods, then pouring the seeds out.Bright colors are cheery, and it is impossible to lose one!One regret -- that I didn't buy a 7-gallon trug too[...]
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use this tub for cut flowers, trimming and weeding and clean out the tub and reuse the water for my plants. It's easy to carry and I love how lightweight it is!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Don't stop when the tub seems full. Pile more stuff in the middle, between the handles. REALLY pile it on. The tub's flexibility makes it easy to carry. I was able to fit all of the cut-up branches from a smoke tree into my pretty purple tub.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I find this works better than a clothes basket for taking clothing to be hung on the line. I love the fact that it is so flexable you can carry it with one hand leaving the other free to open doors, gates, etc. It is great for putting vegetables in to take in the house as dirt does not fall through and it is so easy to clean.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
This product is so easy for a senior to use, lightweight yet very strong. I can bring my garden refuse to the compost pile myself. So useful I bought three more because my husband was always stealing mine.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
We've already used these for ice at an outdoor party, weeds, and my husband stole one for some tools. Love the colors; makes the heat a little more bearable.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Tons of uses. I especially like them for carrying compost or mulch to areas of gardens inaccessible with a cart. They are durable, easy to load, and more comfortable on the hands, arms and back than a five-gallon pail. I have four in different colors, more just for fun rather than any organizational motive.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Perfect for leaving tucked between shrubs, always ready to receive weeds or deadheading as I wander in my garden.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Bought one years ago and just had to have more! I found one just wasn't enough and I was always looking for another 'container' to use. The tubtrugs are one of the most versatile helpers I use when gardening.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love the flexibility of these tubs and the ease of carrying them with one hand. I tote water in them, dirt, clippings, prunings, tools, etc.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I carry the tub around with me as I weed all of my flower gardens. It keeps me organized in that I do not have alot of little piles everywhere.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These are GREAT tubs. I would buy one in every color.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Flexible and light weight. Can carry with one hand. Useful for potting soil, weeds, tools, etc. Color selection is fun.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
It is big enough to pile in clippings and weeds from the garden, and light enough to not get heavy. Being able to collaspe and hold the handles in one hand is a plus. Love the colors, I got the red to go with the oriental accents in the garden. It will be interesting to see how many uses we find for it this boating season.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use these trugs when weeding, pruning, deadheading. They are sturdy, have a large capacity, and thanks to the bright colors, you don't lose them in the garden when you become distracted by a particularly challenging group of weeds around the next corner. You can easily tote huge amounts of garden waste to the composter. I also transport divisions from my perennial gardens to family and friends. They don't dry out, and my car doesn't get dirty. I even move my fish from their winter holding tanks to my pond in these trugs. They are so much more comfortable to use that my old "Big Box Store" buckets.
But one warning: If you are married, you'd better get at least two, because you and your spouse will find yourselves fighting over who gets to use the trug when you garden together!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I HATE WEEDING!! So anything that makes it a little easier gets a thumbs up in my opinion. I use it for the pulled weeds. Since I can carry it with one hand, I can also carry my hand rake in the other. The wide top makes it easy to just toss things in. Much nicer than the 5-gal. bucket I was using before.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Tubtrugs are GREAT! We love them. We use them for everything from hauling weeds and compost, to holding toys and separating recyclables.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Everyday I find a new use for my trug. Whether it is in the garden, pool side for drinks, or laundry there's always a place for my Tubtrug.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I keep buying more of these tubs because I keep finding new uses: gardening, newspaper recycling, pet supplies, bulk items, etc etc etc. They are very useful and economical....I will be purchasing several more :)
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Our recycling is picked up curbside year round. We have to sort items and use our own containers. I wanted something sturdy and weatherproof to replace the brown paper grocery bags I usually used. These tub trugs are great for all my recycling (bottles/cans and paper). Plus I am no longer "killing" trees by using paper grocery bags. My recycling service must approve, too, as I've been left several thank you notes since I started using the tub trugs.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have used my tub to carry soil,water,puppy's and as a cooler. So far so good and I can't wait to order another color. Simply amazing all around useful yard necessity!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love the tub trugs! I have two of them and want more in other sizes. They are very versatile and I love that with the flexible sides you can carry both handles with one hand. I use mine for routine weeding and it's perfect. I'm thinking of getting a few more to use as laundry baskets.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I bought three of these colorful tubs. I used one for a prize basket that I put together for our recent garden tour. The other two are for me. I use them to carry my garden veggies to the house.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
After 10 years of use, my last tub trugs wore out. I couldn't get anything done without them. They are small enough to be easy to work with yet big enough to hold a reasonable load. I use them for all garden chores from weeding to mulching, from planting to harvesting.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Mix soil, carry multiple small items, discard weeds... you'll find many uses. These are so handy and reasonably priced that I have several.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
We have found a huge number of things to use this for - my workout stuff, beach stuff, gardening stuff. My daughter uses the small one for her doll things. Going to order more so that each member of the family has their own!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I ordered one for my daughter and one for myself and we're both enthusiastic about them. It's been used for yard waste as well as holding a large plant I'm in the middle of transplanting across the yard. Thank goodness it's easy to move about with a heavy load.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Love the new colors!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:

Colorful and easy to use.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I own several of these and use them when weeding, mixing and transferring soil, carting stones, and transplanting plants. They're very sturdy and lightweight.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I started w/ one trug many years ago. I have 7 now including the one I use for a laundry basket.
They make great haulers for everything - water, dirt, rocks, bricks - you name it! I use them for weeding, they have flat bottoms so just pull them along w/ you. Neighbor across the street uses one to collect their home grown produce, another friend uses hers for a beer cooler when they entertain. They make great rain gathering reservoirs during the rainy season. I use them when harvesting herbs and flowers for potpourri.
Lord knows how I ever got along w/out them! Another friend on a farm uses it for hauling grain and feed to their critters. The uses are nearly endless. Wish they were a little more UV resistant, but that's probably not as big an issue up North. But they still last for 3 or 4 years even here, and they're outdoors 12 months a year. Oh - good for hauling bird seed too!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I am absolutely in LOVE with this product! The handles are so comfortable when transporting anything. It makes the cleanup after pulling weeds, and pruning shrubs a BREEZE!!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These bins are tough enough that I've hauled gravel in them, as well as weeds, bulbs, tools, etc. I had two and they were always full of something, so I've just gotten two more. My neighbor liked them and got some knockoff cheapies at Kmart, but they're just not as good-- a handle already snapped. And I have to admit that I love the rainbow of fruity colours...
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
My first tub was taken over by my daughter to store some of her toys in. This year I ordered 2 of the largest size for prepping soil for my self-watering planters. Their flexibility makes carrying even larger loads easy.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Love doing gardening work with this product. Easy to carry weeds and garden tools around. Love the colors.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
My husband and I love these colorful tubs. I bought several a year ago and we used them so often, I purchased several more this year. They are so useful for mixing soil and peat, weeding, trimming, and many of our gardening and yard projects. Very durable!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I can't lift ordinary garden tools with a bad back. The tubs are so very light and colorful. I have twice ordered them for our use.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I don't start out to do any work in my yard and garden without my handy tote - it's great for toting my trowels, seeds, gloves, etc, I fill it with weeds I've pulled and take to my composting unit, it's great for filling with potting soil (you know how hard that stuff is to get out of the bag)when I'm potting plants, well---let me just say the uses for these totes are endless. If you don't have one, you don't know what you're missing. I highly recommend them.

I love these buckets. I want all the colors and the sizes. They are great for so many uses. I can't wait to bring in my veggies with one. I will also use the big one for an ice bucket at our BBQ's. I want a small one to hold all my knitting, art, and sewing projects. I want to collect them all.

These tubs are convenient, easy to clean and so versatile! I'm going to purchase more now that pool season is here...they'll be perfect for toting towels,refreshments,etc. down to our pool area. They store easily, too!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These are lightweight but tough! I left mine out in a hail storm, and no damage at all! Handles are comfy too. I have found MANY more uses for them!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Tubs by other manufactorers have split at the handle. I enjoy the cheerful colors. Makes a tedious job fun!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I had been using a hard plastic kitty litter container for my weeds/leaves in the garden which would tip over often on my sloping terraced garden. The Tubtrug sits on the hillside and doesn't tip, it kind of molds to the land beneath it and grips on to it! I had eyed this for over a year and finally treated myself to it. I wish I hadn't waited so long, I got the Red and it's a nice cheery Red. I haven't used it for a party yet but I think it will be perfect for drinks out on the deck. I see more of these in my future and I'm happy I'm not the girl walking around the house with the kitty litter container anymore!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
The colors are great & I haven't purchased the other sizes. This is the 2nd one that I have purchased. They hold up alot better than the traditional laundry baskets
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Since the trug is flexible, there is no awkwardness to using it to fill or to empty. I have arthritis most everywhere and it's lack of weight means I can do so much more. The ease of emptying it, because it is a soft as it is strong may be my favorite reason for using it. I purchased two in the bright orange. I live in the woods and I can SEE it...no matter where I have left it.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have 5 of these tubtrugs and use them nonstop to cart garden tools, stones and yard debris, mix soil, even used to cool drinks at a party. They are super lightweight and flexible and can be carried easily with one hand. I bought two two years ago and another three this spring. Probably my favorite purchase outside of plants! I super recommend these things. They stack together and are cool colors, too.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have several of these tubs, and use them to hold weeds I am pulling to dump later. I mix my potting/seedling soil mixes in them. I put beekeeping tools/supplies in them to carry to my hives. So many great uses, and they look beautiful throughout my yard.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Love, love this thing - use to put weeds in while weeding or deadheading, carries garden tools, general yard use - best of all it is a color (lilac) that the guys in my family will not walk off with - it's mine! I purchased the 11 gallon capacity.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have several and take them out with me when I garden. I can use one for weeds, one for tools, and one for mixed soil and compost. They are really light so filling them with stuff gives you what you need without the added weight. They are great!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Not just for gardening, this tub is also good for bringing firewood in, carting wet towels and toys from the beach, serving drinks at a bbq, filling with water balloons...and the list goes on.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Very versitile... from tossing in weeds, to carrying compost for planting, to havesting mini pumpkins... the uses can be endless. The bright colors help locate it in the yard when you put it down and get distracted by something else.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I've used this tub for transporting many items.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
The tubtrug has already proved to be wonderful for carrying material from weeding and spring garden cleanup. It's light weight and ease of use make it great for us older gardeners! Thanks for your well designed and varied products!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use these every time I'm in the garden (which is almost every day right now). My husband's only complaint is that I ordered the large tubtrug in lavender.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love all the different color selections! These tubs are so useful and very handy around the house both inside and out. I have three of them and am thinking about buying another just for outside.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I carry the tubtrug whenever I am out in my garden. it holds tools, carries debris and just makes my gardening chores easier. The colorful tubs brighten my chore time and really are so very useful. I would recommend them for many uses, but I especially love them as my go-to when in the garden. You can never have too many of them and they last and last, so durable, yet lightweight.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
This tub can be used for so many activities that I couldn't possibly list them all!

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have the tubtrug in many sizes and colors. They are helpful for carrying all of my gardening supplies out to the garden and then for carrying the weeds back to the compost. My boys, ages 5 & 7, use them to collect the grass clippings they rake up. The tubtrug is lightweight and flexible enough for them to carry the clippings back to the compost. The most recent tubtrugs I received were put into use inside moving my children's toys from the living room and kitchen back into the toy room. I would also like to add that I accidentally left one of my tubtrugs outside for an entire Wisconsin winter. You cannot tell which of my tubs was left out side. The flexibility of the tubs makes them good for spreading mulch. They can be squished to form a spout and then the mulch goes right where you want it. I have purchased tubtrugs for myself and received them as gifts (because I requested them).
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
All 3 sizes are great for so many uses in the vegetable and flower garden.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love them! My husband keeps taking them to use in the garage for holding his tools and junk in general, so I have to buy more!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
The 11 gallon tubrug came in handy to moisten the container mix before adding it to my self-watering tomato planters.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
They are so fun, handy and bring some additional cheery fun into the garden.
The only problem I've experienced is that left in the sun and weather for over a year, the plastic cracks. But what doesn't when abused like that.
Love using for typical gardening activities as well as just another way to collect rain water to use for my potted plants.
LOVE THEM!!!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Im not using mine for gardening. We are using these in our RV camper, to put hoses and misc. items in to carry. I use them to carry laundry, groceries,
bath our dog in. I bought all 3 sizes and can find so many uses for them.
They are more sturdy than the ones you see in the discount stores. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
What cheerful buckets to have about the place! They sure look a lot better than the old 5 gallon buckets they've replaced.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These are versatile and I reach for mine often for weeding, potting plants, etc. They are also tough-- my last one lasted over 4 years outside. When I replaced it, I ended up buying several-- the kids love them for laundry and storing things in their rooms.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I use these tubs a lot, I have several. One great use is when I pull a large plant out of the garden that would not survive the winter, these tubs are great as an over-winter planter.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Don't know what I did without this. It is so much easie3r than running around with my wheelbarrel all the time. Light weight - so handy! Giving them as gifts.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love the tubtrugs. I have had my first one for several years, and it's been helpful for everything from carrying compost, watering plants, and weeding, to storing my tools until I need them again. They are lightweight and even when full of dirt or water are easy to carry. They are flexible enough to easily pour water on plants. I ordered two more because they are so useful--one is full of dog toys in my living room.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These tubs are great--lightweight, colorful, stackable. Large one great for hauling lawn debris, picking up kindling; will use for mixing potting soils, etc. Like that they are easy to hose out for cleaning. Will probably use to haul things in the car--like to the beach!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have four and use them constantly.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Easy to carry out into the yard, for weed pick up. Or moving small amounts of mulch.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
The handles make it easy to pour from and carry. I leave it on the deck and pour our saved shower warm-up water and produce-cleaning water into it for use in the garden.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
[...] Was not really wanting it, But I LOVE it!! I use it for EVERYthing. Weeding, transporting stuff (food, shoes, etc.)back and forth to our lake house, groceries, laundry. I was also told you could mix plaster, or concrete in it and it Won't stick!! (haven't tried that yet) I have even ordered 2 more, one to give to a friend.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have several tubs and really like them. However they are older now and the handle has broken off on one side of two of them. Is this a common occurance? I still use them but they are not as easy to use with one handle gone.

Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I want one in every color! Incredibly handy, spacious, distributes weight well. Only one con: Could the handles be longer? I schlep to the local greenmarket and bring plants/shrubs home on the subway. While my purchases fit well inside the trug, the shrubs are often too tall to allow me to bring the handles together. I have to improvise with a plastic bag tied lengthwise as a long handle.
Also: Could you offer one in black? Maybe with a tres chic contrasting stripe encircling the top? I live in Manhattan, where black is the new black. THEN I would definitely carry it everywhere!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
These things are great! I wish I'd gotten one sooner.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love it. It's lighter than the big tubs with the rope handles that I used to drag all over the yard and it's the perfect size for toting all my tools to the site, then taking all the weeds to the compost pile.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Have had the large size for several years, use it ALOT. This spring i got it out of the shed and left it in the veg garden out in the sun probably for a week or so. I picked it up yesterday and the handle broke. So sad...but ordering two more. It served well...but i think keeping it out of the sun is a good idea!! The 11 gal size is perfect for prunings, deadheading, weeding, big enough to make fewer trips to dump it but small enough it doesnt get too heavy.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Have ordered them more than once, and probably will again. I have all 3 sizes, and for this "aging" gardener the weight of them is great. Not too much at one time. Thanks SO much.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
The trugs are great inside and outside of the house ....very handy !!
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I love the Tubtrugs. I have several different colors and sizes at my home. I have bought the large tub and filled with gardening stuff for each of my adult children when they have purchased their homes.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
use this item for weeding, compost, harvesting veggies, transport soil and seedlings, bath pets, collect cut flowers or for pruning. The uses are immeasurable. my 11 year old has the medium purple and I have the large pink.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Everything I need for gardening fits in this tub. It is easy to carry and very durable.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
I have gardened for a while now, but often left tools around the yard and lacked a handy way to carry weeds, tools and compost nutrients to their rightful homes. Many thanks for this inexpensive and lightweight tool.
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
Good for weeding, planting, gathering flowers, etc
Comments about Colorful Tubtrug, 11 Gallon:
This sturdy 11 gallon tub is just the right size: big enough to hold a lot; small enough that when it's full it's not too heavy and it's easy to carry. My husband borrowed it to lug a bunch of power tools, but I made him give it back. I think I'll buy him one of his own in a different color so he'll leave mine alone!
