Self Watering Hanging Baskets
 
Anyone know where I can get the large self watering baskets like the ones
used by Councils?

I'm looking for abot 50 - 70 of them for our local community association -
have searched online with no success.

I'd already found that one but the reservoir seems small at 1.4 litres, I've
been told that the ones used by councils typically hold about 5 to 7 lites
which means you only have to fill them about once per week, even in hot
weather.

You are allowed to phone another council that does use them.

Thanks for that, I had used those exact words but hadn't thought of using
them as an exact phrase.

It led me to exactly what I want.

Easiest way is to put double quote marks around the phrase in the
ordinary google search box.

If you use the advanced search, you'll see that it shows in the search
box the results of what you've typed in all the separate boxes, and
that's a good way of learning how to refine your ordinary searches -
that's how I learnt, for example, that adding site:.gov.uk will restrict
your search to official government sites.

hi not sure if you have sorted this now but my company sells the baskets which you were looking for to most local authorities in the uk and we could certainly help you out with the self watering baskets
