    Some of the supermarkets sell off the black plastic containers that they display cut flowers in - I got some in Tesco but I'm not sure which ones currently do. I'm sure someone else will know. Hope that helps.

    If you can't find any ex display pots in supermarkets, try Poundland or the 99p shop.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

    Our Morrisons do 8 for 99p - but they don't always have them - it just depends when you turn up!

    my patio plants are in large square-lipped pots (about 40cms across) - both my new ones this year are black, the shorter one (40cms high) was £1.99 I think from B&M bargains, and I have a lovely tall one (its a least 2.5ft high) for £3.99 from Family Bargains last week.

    I was looking at the ones in Argos, the tall ones, but they are £20 for 2, so thats a no thanks (unless i can get them on sale later in the year).

    My local Lidl gives away the black plastic cut flower pots, but, as Morrison's, not always available, pot luck really
    Eight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens

    As already stated, Morrisons sell varying quantities for £1 but if you don't see them ask someone. In our store they keep them behind the fish counter!
