Anyone know where one can get plastic patio pots to plant in, not too small.

I have found my existing ones prove to be too small once the plants grow and get a bit crowded.

Hi instinct,

Have you tried searching on Gumtree or Freecycle as people seem to post pots in my area quite frequently. Otherwise maybe check your local big supermarket to see if they're having an end of summer clearance.

Hi Instinct - you could also try asking around any friends and neighbours with gardens. You often find that gardeners have loads of plastic pots in their shed or greenhouse that they are never going to use but don't want to throw away. They might be glad to find a good home for them.
