Hessian lines the inside of this oval unpeeled willow trug, the bark left on the willow, with an arched handle fixed across the top. Small, medium and large are offered, or a set of all three.
The hessian lining puts a layer of jute between damp soil and the weave, so earth and root fragments come out when the trug is lifted and shaken. Cut flowers, lifted vegetables, weeds and windfall fruit all go in. The medium and large share a side height and differ only in footprint; the small suits herbs and soft fruit.

FAQs
Which size suits lifting vegetables?
The medium or the large. Both are 15 cm deep, which holds potatoes and onions without them rolling over the side, and the large gives you 40 x 30 cm of floor. The small at 29 x 20 x 11 cm is better suited to herbs and soft fruit.
What is the hessian there for?
It sits between the soil and the weave, so damp earth and root fragments stay off the willow and come out when you lift the trug and shake it. Hessian is jute, woven coarse, and it brushes down dry.
Oval or rectangular, which should I take?
Oval if you want the deeper of the two: this range runs 11 to 15 cm against 10 to 15 cm on the rectangular, and every size is larger. Rectangular if you want straight sides and a smaller trug, down to 26 x 16 cm.
Will it survive being left out in the rain?
It will not thank you for it. The willow is unsealed, so rain goes into the willow and repeated soaking and drying shortens the life of the basket. Knock the soil out and let it dry somewhere airy after use.
