The Large Traditional Trug is the ultimate accessory for the productive gardener. This high-capacity, artisan-crafted vessel is designed for significant harvests, providing ample space for everything from long-stemmed brassicas to a heavy haul of orchard fruit. Hand-made using traditional methods and sustainable materials, this trug is a timeless investment that blends heritage craftsmanship with everyday practical utility, ensuring your home-grown produce is transported with the care it deserves.

Best For: Serious kitchen gardeners, allotment holders, and those with orchards who need a high-volume, lightweight, and durable container for substantial harvests.

Key Features

• Substantial 57cm Capacity: The generous length and width make this trug ideal for larger vegetables like leeks, rhubarb, and marrows, or for gathering a large volume of apples and pears.
• Artisan Hand-Craftsmanship: Each trug is individually formed from strips of shaped FSC® populus wood, making every piece a unique example of traditional woodworking.
• Marine-Grade Fixings: Held together with solid brass pins and screws, ensuring the structure remains robust and rust-free even when exposed to damp garden conditions.
• Gentle on Produce: The smooth, natural wood slats and wide, shallow base prevent the crushing and bruising of delicate fruits and vegetables that can occur in deeper buckets.
• Lightweight yet Strong: Populus wood is chosen for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio, allowing you to carry a heavy load of produce without adding unnecessary weight to the tool itself.
