Morrisons Pots

You're in the Big House? Why? What you done?

 

Now that's a good idea, cheap feed for the birds now and then. Bird seed is expensive now, never used to be as bad!

 

Cheap feed for me more like

I picked up some crumpets for 15p once. It was their sell by date (or use by - I can't remember), but if it's not mouldy and its not rock hard, its fine.

 

I reguarly buy out of date bread down our local co-op usually the nice crusty stuff at less than 35p a loaf and if it doesn't get eaten soon'ish then it goes out for the birdies

 

I looked at them before as they make great size pots for Dahlias

Plus the wife works for Morrisons so we get 10% off as well

 

Our supermarkets are the same 25p
They are used by me for Bread and Butter Pudding, or the birds, usually both so win all round Good for Croutons too

How did they work out 10% of nothing?

 

No that means they owe us 10p

 

DOH John got them for nothing as they were not priced up
Others the price is 8 for 99p so intel got 10% off

Stop confusing the matter

The garden centre I use hs a big crate full of pots that you can just take. They need a clean but last year I got about 8 x 7litre pots that I grew peppers and toms in.

I love those trays you can put your pots in, usually get them in homebase, then I can just pick up a tray if I need to move them, say putting outside to harden them off, instead of backward and forward with seperate pots. Just be careful as they do break easily.

 

Cleaning pots and trays is one of my least favourite jobs , but it must be done . I fill one big plastic trug with hot water and detergent for washing , and another with a Jeyes fluid mix or bleach mix for a rinse . I usually end up as wet as the pots as well !
I see you use the old 99p buckets as well Shiney Great 14 litre pots with a handle !
Just done a bucket price check ( us gardeners are a bit sad , you know ) B n Q are £1.38 , Wilkos are still a £1.00 !!!

 

I had loads of builders buckets about 60, after some work done, I use them for my beans, still use the Morrisons buckets for my tomatoes though, as they fit in my greenhouse better.
As Shiney says though, I also have a vast hoard of pots, gathered over time. From tiny to huge.
