Breakdown
Full review
A flexible tub for transplant day
The Red Gorilla Medium Flexible Plastic Tub gives loose garden supplies a simple place to land. Potting mix, empty nursery pots, labels, gloves, hand tools, and clipped leaves can sit together while seedlings move from shelf to bench.
The flexible wall is the main appeal. It can bend slightly during pouring, tuck near a bench leg, and feel forgiving when the tub is carried through a narrow path.
Useful around potting mix and labels
Transplant work often begins with a small pile of pieces. Fresh mix, written labels, empty pots, and young plants all need space before the first root ball moves.
This tub can hold loose mix during filling, carry empty pots to the bench, or collect spent tags and tray scraps after the work is done. The green color also feels at home beside garden tools and nursery pots.
