Tomato Boxes

Hi there. I am a new member and have an allotment in Yorkshire. I was wondering if anybody where I can buy tomato boxes. The kind I mean are made of wood, quite light and have wooden uprights in each corner that provide a gap/ventilation between layers of boxes stored on top of each other.
They would seem to be good way to store/transport tomatoes, onions, etc.
Many thanks in anticipation and thanks for all the tips and advice I've read on the forum so far.

 

I know the kind you mean, Kinghymie - but I don't recollect seeing any for a long time. Supermarkets all have the cardboard ones these days. Hope somebody else can help you!

 

go to your local grocer, maybe they will have some spare or at least know where to get you some.

 

Maybe your local market?We have a man comes round the village on a Sunday morning selling fruit and veg.He`s been doing it for donkeys yrs and he has a stall at the market on a Saturday.He helped me out last yr with the same thing for mushrooms(though i never got a single one) :rolleyes: :D

 

I got a box of oranges in one recently
Try your green grocer

 

You may not get the wooden ones but if you have a Stokes near to you, you should be able to get the plastic tomato trays for next to nothing. David.

 

Have been away for last two weeks - hence delay in replying. many thanks for suggestions. I'll post another note if I find another outlet.
Regards.
