They only have one size though, so I may have to buy them from the company. I saw these in our Gardener's Supply Company catalogue.

My house is in Ballard built up off the street and hauling mulch from the street to the backyard is a pain in the arse. This will come in handy. Thanks! Wow, I LOVE this find.

As for mixing soil stuff -- when we mix soil and compost, we just toss it in the hole, alternating parts (think baking) and mix it right in there with the shovel. That is one classy bucket.

I can pre-soak her clothes in it, easily dump the water and throw everything in the washing machine. I got mine at our local farmer's supply coop. We use ours as my daughter's laundry basket.

L.L.Bean sells something similiar -- search for the "Go-Anyehere Flexible Tote" in the Garden & Backyard section of Outdoor Accessories. I don't know if they are true Tubtrugs or a knock-off.

For deadheading, leaves etc, we use Ikea shopping bags andthese poly bins called Dimpa, that we really like because they're lightweight and reuseable. We have to take what doesn't fit/belong in the compost heap to the county yard waste site. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40117003 Oh I have a trubtug and its perfect for amending soil.
