Jules. Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 A- who is doing all our building work while we are having the house put back to its original 3 bedroomed state- is now plastering the new wall he has made. He has 2 black tubtrugs which he is using for the plaster- he says they are brill as the hardened plaster can just be kicked out of the bucket & then it is clean again I told him that lots of my "friends" who keep chickens also have tubtrugs to match their eglus.

Yorkshire Pudding Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 What on earth do you use them all for?! And (more importantly) do they all match the Eglu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 My name's Aint "Ooops, word censored!"ody Here and I don't own a single tubtrug . Soon to change, though, when my new compost bin arrives . I'm going to need something to transport the old hemcore/chicken doo doo to said new bin (and if it happens to match my eglu, so much the better ).

Eyren Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have two, both lime green to match my eglu - and the small one goes into a custom-made gardening bag: http://www.girlygardeningbag.co.uk/ I can strongly recommend them - perfect for taking to the allotment!

Egluntyne Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Congratulations. Maybe this thread sheould be re-entitled "Tubtrugs Amnonymous" I have 4...light green, dark green, purple and pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I own more than I care to mention. I have a set of orange for to match my cube. I have a large shallow red one for a dustbath (for the chooks, not me) and will get a small ORANGE shallow one when they are available in Spring. I have about ten others of various sizes and colours for various gardening jobs. I had a bit of a habit, and couldn't come home from the garden centre without a new one. Now that I've found the tubtrug online shop, I've managed to cure myself of getting them from the garden centre. And, finally, I have the tubtrug runner, which is fab for moving stuff around. My name is Hazel, and I am a Tubtrug addict. www.tubtrugs.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I have one, green to match my Eglu. I use it to soak the roosting bars in before they get scrubbed. I would love some more, but I can't think of any use for them, I just like looking at them Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Landgirl (where is she these days?) had a black one with goldfish in it in her garden. They looked very dramatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Christian - saw an orange tubtrug in my local garden centre yesterday - only £4.49 and I think it was a bit bigger :D Got to pop back there next week to collect some plants.................... hadn't seen an orange one before and thought 'oh handy if you've an orange eglu' I've got a few in various colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I have a purple one cos it's my favorite colour A pink one because it goes nice with the purple one A big green one to match the Eglu A small green one that I bought for James but I never let him use it! A medium brown one that I use for logs - matches the living room Oh and I'm looking forward to the garden shows starting this year because you can always buy them there at great prices!!!!!! I liked that one in a bag - wasn't keen on the price though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyren Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I liked that one in a bag - wasn't keen on the price though..... I admit they're not cheap - but a typical multi-pocket garden tool bag is around 20 quid anyway (usually including a bunch of cheapo tools I don't want) and lacks the all-important tubtrug!

bronze Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I don't have one. I can think of a use for one because the ds1 could have the bucket bit from hios wheelbarrow back but I can't justify the money Maybe when I'm rich or when f&c wins that lottery I'll ask her nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have a multi pocket tool bag - got it for a fiver off ebay and was still wrapped! Its a nice RHS one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
