Topic: Bag to carry allotment bits and pieces around

[Blue Bird]

I used a wheelie bin before I got my shed and still use it for my tools !

now got three on the go yellow / green and grey  ;D

Like it Baccy, there was a post on this forum a year or so ago about hiding tools similar to Tinkies idea, I'm sure someone will find it, I'm crap at finding old posts. One idea I remember was similar to Tinkies was digging a large hole and placing a metal container in to put tools in and covering with an old carpet or such.  ;D ;D ;D

Hi Bak I found the post I've refreshed it on "Basics" under life without a shed or something like that. It might help if not good luck with the bag, the bags for life in the supermarkets seem a good idea we've got one from Lidl its big and strong.  ;D ;D ;D

thanks to all for your tips. I have a good range of ideas to choose from.

I like that there 'buried shed' idea. Could also be a metre or so above ground and camouflaged to look like a compost bin!

I treated myself to a plastic box from B&Q.  It looks a bit like a green coffin.  It is long enough to hold a spade but not a rake.  Any ideas please.  Does anyone know of a retracting one?  I am sure someone will have a bright idea.

You can get rakes etc that come in more than one piece. Can't remember what they're called but they're distinctively red and yellow I think.

Made by Wolf. Its one long (or short, you choose) handle fits all. You buy the seperate heads and click them on. They do a good brochure too.

Many thanks.  Off to search.

I got a plastic multipurpose garden barrow thing from Homebase, £13.

It's got two wheels and one handle and you pull it behind you like a "mature person's" shopping trolly.  Have happily managed to fit fork, spade, rake and rucksack full of hand tools and nosh in it all at the same time and has the added bonus that you can use it to shift stuff around on the plot when you get there.

and good for carting water about too if it's like mine. ;)
