Just searched the forum for "Plant Pots" and this is the thread I found but it doesn't really help answer my question - I was in Wilko's just now and the range wasn't very large and was focused more on 'display' pots (too early for their 'grow your own' range because the BBQ aisle is still stocked!).
Anyone ordered them before or have a view? Postage very high but they do multiple discounts on the same pot styles (i.e. order some 5 litre, 7.5 litre and 10 litre pots and pay one P&P charge).
Price seems reasonable and quality looks good to me but would welcome alternatives from anyone that has bought elsewhere online?
my local garden centre has a place outside for recycling pots, I've had all sorts out of it
my local morrisons sells 8 old flower pots for 99p, but when I bought the last lot, they clearly couldn't count because each pack had between 10-12 pots in
For anyone interested I ended up ordering through ScotPlants Direct.
Arrived yesterday and very happy with packaging and the quality of the pots so can happily recommend (they also have a 10% off deal on at the moment with a code at checkout).
Luckily the delivery coincided with another delivery of over £100 worth of bulbs too
For the Flooded Gardens appeal, I just went to the local (non-chain) nursery and asked them; they re-cycle normally as it is not worth their while to sterilise for re-use, so they gave me whatever I wanted. But I did ask them nicely
Thanks Fruitcake, for that idea - I'm going to suggest that my local garden centre starts pot recycling. I've reluctantly put my flower pots out with the rubbish because no one seemed to want them at the time.

Looking on ebay I have seen these:

I have ordered pots from Scot Plants Direct but via Amazon. I got 1litre and 2 litre square/round pots. They were good quality.

If I need to put holes in the bottom of plastic containers I use an old soldering iron to burn through the plastic. This means they don't split.

I use Oakland_gardens & Elixirgardens both on ebay. for my pots, both companies supply good quality pots.
Thanks all - Oakland Gardens on ebay look good value.

I thought of this thread today when I found this lovely plant pot, which is 18 inches across and 16 inches tall
