A flexible tub for small soil sessions
The Vego FlexTrug 4 Gallon Flexible Plastic Tub is a sage green garden tub for loose mix, compost portions, empty pots, labels, hand tools, and cleanup scraps.
The 4 gallon size fits short bench sessions. It can sit beside a potting tray, carry a few supplies to a patio group, or collect loose material while a container is being refreshed.
Soft sides help with carrying and pouring
Flexible side handles make the tub easy to grab and move. The sides can flex slightly as loose material is poured back into a bag, tray, or garden bed.
That shape is useful when potting mix, compost, dry leaves, and small tools are moving through the same work area.
A gathered place for bench pieces
Gardening often creates a small pile of pieces before the first plant moves. A tub gives those pieces one home: scoop, labels, gloves, nursery pots, ties, and cleanup scraps.
After a soil-heavy session, brush out dry crumbs and rinse the tub if damp mix settles along the base.
