Not too sure if anyone can help me, but i'm looking for about 60 8"-10" plastic pots for my tomatoes and peppers (all of the seeds sprouted & I can't stand to ditch any).
They seem really expensive even in Wilkinson, just wondered if anyone has clocked any bargains on their travels.

Morrisons sell the black buckets the flowers come in ...99p for 8 as i bought some today an dhave seeds galore planted again.
Ask asda for their old flower buckets and also your local co op as they just throw them out.
oops didnt read it properly ...though these bucket will be good for when you pot them up0 -

Wyevale have a 'recycle' bin for trays, pots, etc so worth checking out if there's one near you. I think you can help yourself, just ask.Blagged: free samples of handwash from Molton Brown; booklet of walks from Brecon Carreg;
Free Diabetes monitor, free bee-friendly seeds, a MINI coin and a splash-proof book from Radox.:T0 -
Pound world seems to do quite alot of cheap gardening stuff have you tried there.

Try your local garden centre, Mine gives away free plastic pots, free crocks, and once a flood even free plants.0

Not something I'd normally recommend, but eBay seem to have some cheap lots.
If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -
I just bought some from Wilkinsons, but not sure they'll last. They are the plastic terracotta style ones, about 99p for 1 10" one.
Otherwise put a wanted on freecycle. I think people struggle to give them away, so might be worth a try if you're not fussy about styles and colour.
//edit - oops just saw you tried wilkinsons.0 -
I bought some from the garden superstore online this year. They were good, the pots good quality and fast delivery.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0
