I use soft drinks bottles with the bottoms cut off. Flat bottoms can
be used as saucers for small pots. I make pots themselves by cutting
1/3 up and boring holes in the bottoms. I wonder if the binmen puzzle
over why they only get partial bottles! The plastic goes brittle after
a few years in the sun, but there's a continuous supply.
