Default Where can I get cheap gardening containers?

I cannot believe how much people are willing to pay for fancy and even
not so fancy plastic containers for growing plants. Even with the high
cost of petroleum, paying something over $10 for a flower pot seems
excessive. I was just over at a nursery where they were willing to pay
you $0.30 if you brought your 15 gallon plastic pot back to be
recycled. They were not even willing to give a quote on how much they
would charge to sell the for cash.

If you just want to grow some veggies of berries in a pot, how can you
get containers at a reasonable price?

What's wrong with just using cups? Get the cheap ones and poke drainage
holes in them where needed. If you mess one up, you're only out a cent
or less.

You'll have to provide your own dirt, but that's what potting soil is
for.

Old computers are getting to be a lost art. Here at Uncreative Labs, we
still enjoy using the old computers. Sometimes we want to see how far a
particular system can go, other times we use a stock system to remind
ourselves of what we once had.
