30 litre plant pots?

Buggins

Hi folks
Does anyone know of a cheap source for these? I have just ordered 5 fruit trees and realised it could cost a fortune for the pots to put them in! Any ideas gratefully received!

Our local tip has plant pots, often a bit worn, but usable, both plastic and pot. I have some large self watering planters, 12" across at the top, from the tip. They cost 50p or so. They did stink a bit though, rather nasty, but spraying with bleach, and leaving outdoors for a few months sorted that out.

Depends if you want decorative or just plastic pots, try garden centers, cheapy shops, eBay etc.

How about some Trug Tubs? They come in various sizes, 26L, 42L, you can pick them up in shops as well. Handles could be useful for moving them about, just drill some holes through the bottom for drainage.

Im not sure if they are what you are looking for but pound land have wide selection of large plant pots.

They are plastic (so not really frost proof) but seem decent quality....for a quid.

I wouldn't order from Garden Bargains. They have a VERY peculiar idea of what constitutes mainland UK - I was charged £14.99 delivery instead of the usual £4.99 despite actually living in Scotland (not even the Highlands or Islands). Added to that I didn't receive several items from my order (I wasn't refunded either). And finally - their customer service is atrocious.

Stay away.

Thanks everyone for your help, especially Bunnygirl - I have now ordered from Tesco as I can collect ...and I prefer green!
