GARDEN HARVEST BASKET
This perforated garden harvest basket is made from polypropylene and is available in four-litre and 15-litre sizes. The legs can be folded when harvesting and extended for storage inside. It has a neutral base with lime-coloured folding feet and handles.
This is a versatile, capacious basket. Like a large colander, produce can be washed first before bringing it indoors. We liked the extendable legs for indoor storage. The baskets can also be stacked on top of each other for further storage.
