Bugg
You’ve known us as Gubba, but now we are Bugg. Premium products for people who live in the garden. “Gubba” is an aboriginal word meaning “good”.
Back in 1988, kiwi owner David Graves, developed a Garden Bag that could stand open by itself. Today that small business has grown into an online garden store featuring a huge range of products. We are constantly adding more items to the site. Hopefully it all helps you make your world greener! We welcome customer feedback so if you have comments, queries or inventive uses of any Gubba product, please contact us.

Seven kinds of gardener. Most of us are a happy mix of two or three.
Me? My passion is flowers with a side of edibles. Flowers for the house, herbs and greens for the table. And the twelve kohlrabi coming for dinner next week? That's the chaos style I've learnt to embrace.

October. The garden is awake, the soil is warming up, and the tomatoes are waiting. 🍅

The GreenStalk Seed Starter Kit: organised from seed to soil.
1. Pop the domes on while they germinate. Warm & humid, a day spa for seeds.
2. Once they sprout, lose the domes. Fresh air keeps damping off away.
3. Label. You will not remember which tray was the cherry toms. Nobody does.
Come transplant day, the Carrier takes seedlings out to the garden in one trip then stays busy carrying the harvest, the prunings and your favourite tools.

The most coveted things in the shop over the last month, in one grid. Not our picks, yours: these are the nine that kept leaving. Eight of them are now in a Bundle with 10% off. The book is a lone ranger, and has its own agenda.

One dahlia. Suddenly five. Nobody has to know how little you paid.
Propagating dahlias sounds like something you need a certificate for. It isn't. Three ways in: division, cuttings, or seed. Pick your method, multiply your stock, and spend the savings on more tubers, obviously.
The full how-to is on the blog, written by Elly .green
Four books. Four passions. The Preserving Garden. The Medicinal Garden. The Kitchen Garden. The Picking Garden. Whatever gardener you are, there is one with your name on it. Or two. Or three. Or perhaps all four.

Next year's colour. This years garden 💙🪻🩵 Delphiniums, cornflowers, tweedia, forget-me-nots... twelve beautiful blues for NZ gardens. Now's the time to get them in. Lead the trend, not follow it.

We've all used the end of a teaspoon... and let's be honest, it half works. Then one stem snaps, and six weeks on the windowsill goes in the bin.
This is the teaspoon done properly. A single rod of stainless steel, 22cm and 50 grams. A point at one end to open the hole, a spoon at the other to lift the seedling out with its roots still attached and slide it into place without bruising a leaf.
Hand-forged in Bovenkarspel, where the family have been at it since 1913. No wooden handle to split, nothing to rust, nothing to replace.

"Cuts like a hot knife through butter." S. Starr in Kawerau, on the Harvesting Sickle.
Flax, long grass, overgrown edges, harakeke for weaving. One tool, one clean pull. S. reckons everyone should own one. We're not going to argue.
