From Hay to Horticulture: Why the KD‑121 Feed Tub and KD133 Rake Are Garden Game-Changers

KD-121 Feed Tub used as a garden planter

You thought we made gear just for horses? Think again. Over here at K&D Equestrian, we’ve always said, “Built for horsemen. Tough enough for anyone.” Well, it turns out anyone includes backyard gardeners, weekend tomato warriors, and folks who treat their basil better than their siblings.

Let me introduce you to a duo making waves beyond the barn: the KD‑121 Platinum Line Feed Tub and the KD133 Stall Rake. Together, they’re not just for feeding and mucking—they’re the unholy grail of DIY gardening hacks.

KD‑121: Feed Tub Turned Master Planter

This isn’t your average dollar-store pot. The KD‑121 is molded from ultra-durable, crack-resistant plastic—basically indestructible, even if your toddler decides it’s a spaceship.

Drill a few holes in the bottom and boom: you’ve got the world’s most reliable, tip-proof, storm-surviving, root-loving garden planter.

  • Start deep-rooted plants like tomatoes, carrots, or herbs
  • Mix your own potting soil with compost inside the tub
  • Grow lettuce beds on patios with zero spillage
  • Create raised garden alternatives that stand up to the elements

KD133 Rake: Soil Slayer, Compost Commander

Originally designed for stalls, the KD133 Stall Rake is unintentionally the best garden bed tool out there. The angled head and 60” handle give you leverage and reach like no other.

  • Turn compost piles without breaking your back
  • Aerate your garden beds with ease
  • Level mulch like a boss
  • Clean up leaves, twigs, and maybe last season’s regrets

Bonus Hack: Worm Bin Wonder

Convert the KD‑121 into a worm compost bin. Add ventilation holes, layer in food scraps and bedding, and let your worm workforce turn trash into treasure. Your plants will throw you a party.

Why Gardeners Are Loving K&D Gear

Same reasons horsemen do:

  • 💪 Durability: No cracking, no warping, no worries
  • 🌿 Capacity: Plenty of room for roots, feed, or compost
  • 🧼 Easy to Clean: Hose it down and go again
  • 🔩 Mountable or Freestanding: Your garden, your rules
