This Tierra Garden colander trug is the harvest tool that eliminates two extra steps from a typical garden-to-kitchen run. Collect tomatoes, beans, peppers, salad greens, or potatoes from the garden in the trug, walk over to a hose or rain barrel, rinse, and let the drain holes built into the bottom shed water before bringing the produce inside. No trips to a kitchen sink, no muddy water dripping across the floor, no rinsing in batches.
The 22 by 12 by 4.75 inch tray is sized for a full meal’s worth of harvest — a salad bowl of greens, a colander of beans, or several pounds of garden tomatoes. The colander holes are positioned to drain water without losing produce (no small items slipping through), and the open profile means dirt and stems can be rinsed away during the wash cycle. At just half a pound, the trug is light enough to carry one-handed back to the kitchen even when loaded.
Sold through Lehman’s catalog for backyard gardeners, market growers, foragers, and anyone who picks more produce than fits in a single hand. The combined collect-rinse-drain function is the kind of small-tool ergonomic upgrade that quietly speeds up every meal that starts in the garden.
