Cheap plastic plant pots
Last year we bought some 1 Litre pots from our local nursery for a few
pence each. This year we were told they hadn't got any. Where do URGlers buy cheap pots from, most of ours are only used for a year before we pot things on, so they don't have to be stunningly robust. Jon -- Jon Rouse |

Jon I get mine from the local refuse tip.... this time of year you can often pick up a sackload ( quite literally ) for a couple of quid. They need washing and disinfecting, mind you.

'Twas Wed, 11 Dec 2002 04:04:57 -0000, when "Carol Russell"
enriched all our lives with these worthy thoughts: The contractors that plant up the council properties and traffic roundabout around here will often give them away as the don't reuse them. I was about to mention that! Many landscaping contractors have bloody huge piles of the damned things and are more than happy to get rid of some in exchange for a few beer vouchers. Look in your Yellow Pages. For the more popular commercially planted items (cornus, euonymus, phormiums, etc) most contractors try to buy-in with those flimsy plastic bag pots or in bio-degradable wrappers that help to reduce the amount of 'packaging' they are left with after a large contract, but the vast majority of plants are still supplied in rigid plastic pots. -- cormaic URG faqs/webring - www.tmac.clara.co.uk/urgring/ Culcheth Garden - www.tmac.clara.co.uk/garden/ Warrington Paving - www.pavingexpert.com/ Peoples' Republic of South Lancashire cormaic CAN BE FOUND AT borlochshall.co.uk |
