So, what other unusual, cheap or free containers do people use themselve or
what have you seen someone else using?

Not in the same league as you, but a lot of margerine tubs and some
yoghurt pots have transparent lids and so make excellent seed trays
for sowing bedding etc. Just melt a few drainage holes in the bottom
with a hot wire or soldering iron.

My best finds were some very large plastic containers in a skip!
They had some kind of foodstuff in them that they use in Chinese restaurants.
They are about 70cm high and about 50 in diameter. Grey coloured with red
Chinese markings. I've got roses in mine and they re still doing well ten years
down the line.
Skips are great places for finding all manner of things :~)
