Is there a table that compares pot sizes at all?
Does 1 litre equate to a standard cm measurement?
Looking to buy a lot of 5in ones to pot stuff up for a NGS plant sale
and not sure what that would be in cm or square!!

A 1 litre pot is about 5" diameter. *But you can get 1 litre pots as
'long toms', which are narrower but longer and which we use for sweet
peas.
Trehane have a handy table on their site which shows the size pots
their Camellias are sold in:http://www.trehanenursery.co.uk/plan...nd-pricing.php
and these people sell qite a variety: *http://www.thegardensuperstore.co.uk...ght_Plant_Pots....

Thanks Sacha but they only go up to 9cm and Judy has a lot of herbaceous
stuff that really needs 11cm squares or failing that maybe 1 litre
round.
I have tried www.plantcell.demon.co,uk but again they only do the
smaller square ones.

(Hope you got the plants okay, my Canarina canariensis seeds have
germinated so I am now trying to encourage them to grow)

We get our pots from Munros but I suspect they only send them out in
the hundreds or more. How many do you need?


Oh thanks Sacha, but we need only about 150 - 300, especially square
ones and Judy is trying to keep the cost down as it's for the NGS Open
day

I think there were one or two auction lots on Ebay that i might try for
her.

Why don't you put up a notice at the open day saying you'd welcome any
unwanted pots for next years plant sales, I'm sure you would get a
lot

You do David, and we did but the pots you get are the little 11cm ones
or smaller or squat. Trying to squash a largish amount of geranium or
whatever into those pots isn't easy!
