Default [IBC] Cheap containers, was: Priorities in bonsai design

Plastic 'bus tubs' (the containers used by minimum-wage earning adolescent males to
clear the dirty dishes from restaurant tables) work well, too. A couple of bucks
apiece, from Gordon Food Service (or local equivalent), as I recall.

I had the same idea and was looking around Walmart when I saw some cat litter boxes. They are shallow, don't need to be cut down, largest
sizes are big enough, and they were only $3, as opposed to several dollars for the plastic storage containers.

You can also find similar containers at any local bargain store, like the
Dollar Tree or Mac Frugals. I picked up about 15 this past winter for about
$25 total. I don't know how long before the plastic starts to break down,
but if they last a couple years it is worth it to me.
