Review by Michael Smith (Veshengro)
Hip-Trug is a sturdy container in a flexible holster, and it’s a perfect helper for garden tasks like deadheading or harvesting. Made from colorful neoprene and sturdy stainless steel, Hip-Trug’s holster clips easily to pocket, belt or waistband. The tough, food-safe and microwaveable container slips easily in and out of the band of the holster making it a doddle to empty. No more trying to carry more debris than your hands will comfortably hold, and no more bending down to a container or basket on the ground.
This new accessory appeals to gardeners who care about the health of their plants: using two hands for pruning, deadheading or harvesting makes it much easier to make a clean, healthy cut, minimizing damage. Hip-Trug is also great for many other jobs around the garden, from bringing in the pegs, to carrying bulbs for planting.
Available in three colors and two sizes, there’s a Hip-Trug for every gardener, and for every gardening task. It's colors correspond to those of the Poc-kit Gardener's Utility Belt and both will go great together as a combo. While it may be possible to hook the Hip-Trug to the Poc-kit belt I would rather clip it to a sturdy leather belt.
