Flower Pots

Johnboy or anyone else, do you know of a company where i can buy 13cm full depth lightweight plastic round pots by the thousand or case.
I used to buy them from N.A.Kays, but i have ordered two lots from them this year and they only now stock what i would class as a three quarter pot at 99mm deep. Maybe i am wrong but i would class a full depth pot to be at least 115mm deep.
I used to pay about £55.00 for a thousand including p.p
I have found some on the internet but they work out a lot more than this.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Kind regards a very hopeful Old Hebaceous.

When i'm not fishing i'm mending my nets.

Might find something in the LBS range.
http://www.lbsgardendirect.co.uk

If I put a full link in it will give a wide page but if you follow Container Gardening, Trays & Pots, Pots you should get there - Aeroplas Deep Pots might do the trick.

We will always get some sort of weather.

Plastic Pots

Hi there ,I have found that used plastic cups from water dispensers make ideal pots,I fortunately get the cleaning girls where I work to collect them for me instead of binning them,free and environmentally sound too!.if there is a local trading estate near you try asking if they could donate their used cups to you and any of your friends as I pass my excess ones on to other plot holders.

Cheers for that tip Gary, you can't beat a bit of recycling.

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

But do make sure you use them. When we got our allotment we cleared three dustbins full of tightly stacked coffee cups, among an extraordinary amount of other junk. :)
