I appreciate this is not what you asked for, but I have at least 6 of
these and find them very useful. I buy them more cheaply than shown in
the link (watch out for Lidl garden sales) and they last reasonably
well. They are light but tough, stand open while you fill them and
collapse for storage. I wouldn't be without them. I have even grown
potatoes in the older ones as, by then, they have a few drainage holes.

Oh! We have two of those!!!! We use them for all kinds of things)



Yes, they're very good in the garden. I even use spare ones for plant
protection at this time of year when I need fewer for garden waste. Our
council, to my relief, seems happy to empty any number of them in the
summer. I have been known to have all six full of waste by collection
day.

Never tried to do that with ours but we don't seem to have the
problems I read about with other councils.
