plant pots suppliers ???

Kyle - if you knew my other half you would realise that it would be crass stoopidity to try it!!! Nice to fantasise though!

 

That would be the most likely outcome!
The words balls and earrings could be used to describe the consequences

 

To get back to the original question, what size and shape of pots do you want? The 7cm. x7cm x 8 cm square rigid black pots made by Desch are no longer in production. There are similar ones made in France which are available though. PM me for more details.

 

i have told every one to do that already but no one i know seems to do gardening !!!

and that picture shiney was just mean

thats alot of pots

 

thanks for that scrungee i have these ones that i bought from ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190653744812

but i think in future i should get you to source them for me
i want something in the middle re size bigger than what i have i guess about 4 inch pots unless they are free and then i will have what ever is offered

 

oh westwales please i would greatfully recieve any pots any sizes

 

Those are 5p each. Poundstretcher http://www.poundstretcher.co.uk/store-finder.php are selling 20 round plastic pots for £1.00. Not the very best quality rigid plastic ones, but slightly flexible like you might get if buying a tray of plants from a garden centre.

 

shape not important as long as they are as cheep as in nearly free lol i need some 4inch and or 6 inch ones for potting on

 

I never wash pots, I just reuse them as they are (but I do empty them fully before stacking, if someone gave me a load that was half-full / snail encrusted I would just use a water-flow (jet / whatever) to get the worst of the muck out.

Waste of time washing them (although if a plant was diseased I would take the trouble).

I am fussy about my pots. I want sizes suitable for potting on, and I want them reasonably rigid (so they don't collapse on me whilst I am filling them, and they last 5 years or more). I also want them a consistent size - having all odds-and-sods makes potting on far slower. Not an issue unless you are potting on 100's and 1,000s (as I am).

If buying "new" then buy a carton. It will have a non-round-number of pots. That saves the supplier having to count them out for you.

I prick out into 3" if I am going to then pot-on, and into 9cm if it is going straight out into the ground (9cm has a bit more "holding time" than a 3"). I don't use modules at all.

I pot on from 3" into 4.5" - 5" then 9" then 12" (e.g. Tomatoes)

or 1L and then I really want about 2.5L but they are not common, so I more frequently use 3L then 5L, 10L

I need to be able to get my porky fingers around the orginial rootball when potting on.

To pot on I fill the new, larger pot, using an empty pot (same size as the original being potted-on-from) as a "template". This leaves a "hole" in the middle of the new larger pot. Knock out the plant from its original pot, drop into the hole in the new pot, press down a bit, done.

 

thanks kristen

 

Kristen that is what I do, use an empty pot as the template, then drop the released plant in

Mind I only do it in fives

That's impressive! I can only do them one at a time
