I have also got some big pastic planters in various shapes and sizes from Poundland. Last year they had troughs and planters this year i have only seen planter they have them in green or teracotta plastic they are quite solid and as the shop name sugests they are only £1 each.

Pity you don't live near Hastings I have plastic sacks full of them which we do not want, customers bring them in thinking that we can use them but they are all non standard sizes so will not fit our machine. Tried giving them to a local pot recycling firm but they can't be a*****d to collect them.

Hi
Don't wait for any offers on Freecycle, post a want ad.

I got tons a couple of years back, and we are about to give them away again on freecycle.

Find out where Peter_the_piper works, and contact a local company doing the same work [if that's not too cheeky Peter].

Please don't pay for them; if all else fails; use folded paper ones; there is a link on here for paper pots and they really do work; albeit they get a little musty towards the end.

Trying to work out this post. If the OP's in Hastings area they are welcome to collect these various sizes of pots. FREE of course. (ps got my own Nursery)

Our local garden centre has set aside an area where people can return pots when they've taken the plants out, and they're then free to anyone who wants them. Maybe there's something similar at a centre near you?

Hi
Nothing sinister; just if you worked in xxx, then call the local xxx and ask them; so call up some local nurseries and ask if there are any lying around.
