'Twas Wed, 11 Dec 2002 04:04:57 -0000, when "Carol Russell"
enriched all our lives with
these worthy thoughts:

The contractors that plant up the council properties and traffic roundabout
around here will often give them away as the don't reuse them.

I was about to mention that! Many landscaping contractors have
bloody huge piles of the damned things and are more than happy to get
rid of some in exchange for a few beer vouchers. Look in your Yellow
Pages.
For the more popular commercially planted items (cornus,
euonymus, phormiums, etc) most contractors try to buy-in with those
flimsy plastic bag pots or in bio-degradable wrappers that help to
reduce the amount of 'packaging' they are left with after a large
contract, but the vast majority of plants are still supplied in rigid
plastic pots.
