Last year we bought some 1 Litre pots from our local nursery for a few
pence each. This year we were told they hadn't got any. Where do URGlers
buy cheap pots from, most of ours are only used for a year before we pot
things on, so they don't have to be stunningly robust.

I just cut down plastic soft drinks bottles & drill a few holes in the bottoms.

I might add that if you slice off the bottoms, they make great
bell-cloches, and the bottom bit (if flat) acts as a saucer for the
next size "pot" down. Leave the cap on the "cloches", as otherwise
slugs do a great up-and-over, followed by a trapeze act to gulp down
your plants from the top down.
