Morrisons flower buckets

Queen_Latifah

Have been using these for plant pots but haven't seen them recently in my two local Morrisons. Does anybody know whether they have been stopped?
Many thanks.

Called in my Sains a month ago and got some for my tomatoes, went back in a week later and they seem to have changed their supply method and don't have them anymore.
Tried my Morrisons but they just seem to display them in smaller square green display pots.
I'll have to try Lidl next!

I went to the Basingstoke Morrisons and the very nice woman in the flower area made me up a pack of 8 for £1. These are just about big enough for tomatoes and chillis, but given the price you can't complain.

I also found a shop that sells pots at low prices, I think they are the sort of thing used by garden centres etc. They look good, but they deliver via Home Delivery Network, and I will not use that bunch of incompetent and rude clowns.

They display them in green pots, but they are delivered in black ones.

There's another thread about this somewhere...
I think we reached the conclusion that you have to ask for them as they aren't often on display. The assistant disappeared behind the fishmongers for mine!

Got loads of interesting posts when I searched flower buckets, loads of uses, may have to go back and read them all!
Thanks OP

You definitely just have to ask. I got a few from the co-op yesterday but had to ask

My Lidl just put them out, for free. But it does of course depend upon how many empty ones they have

After Mothering Sunday they were awash with them

Ask! The lady who does the flowers has some in the back usually if they're not out. There's often not room to put them out.

Asked in Lidl this aft and was given 9.

DS works in Morrisons and says ask! Last time I did I got 9 for £1. You have to make holes in them if you're using them for tomatoes et.c though they're great for waste paper baskets as they are!
