You have to be patient with ebay and regular run a search for pots with, say, 15 miles of you. After all, you've got about 4 months before anything starts growing again to find them.

I think you need a small-mesh wire, otherwise the mice will get through it, and thus the mesh will probably be too small for the bulbs to grow up through.Having said that Mice (or whatever) were digging up, and eating, my Tulips well into the spring this year, and long after they were well...

What about Hay fever though nFrost?

Not quite that old, about 1950's Val

Not an expert, but have a look here for an example of decking laid on top of paving. Re the grass, if you could post a pic it would be useful to see what's there Where are you putting the planters? If you're putting them on soil, it would help to raise them so that the holes in the bottom...
