Morrisons Pots

Hello,
Went into Morrisons supermarket today and they had lots of flower buckets taped together and they were selling them for 99P for 6 of them. Brilliant idea and really cheap. Just screw some holes in the bottom and youve got 6 new pots. Not the prettiest of course but that can soon be changed with some trailing lobelia etc. :D Just giving you the heads up to keep your eye open if you go in there.

 

Hi Kayleigh, I've used Morrison's buckets for a few years now, usually you get 10-12 buckets for 99p, maybe they're getting a bit tight this year

As you say pop some holes in the bottom and you've got 5-7lt pots, I use them for growing on shrubs and trees mostly that i've grown from seed or cuttings.

 

Wish I had a Morrisons!

 

Yes they are good! a bit weak though so no good if you move them around a lotare's sells them in 8 and 13 but they obviously cant count as many of them have well over 15 in a tapped bundle

 

We very rarely shop at Morrisons, just because our local one is a mad house (it is always packed and chaotic), but when we do go, I always look out for the 99p bucket packs. I've used them as temporary accommodation for bare root trees while I find somewhere more permanent for them. I think I have some blueberry bushes in some out the back, and I always have 2 or 3 used in rotation as the kitchen compost bin.

 

That's not fair JWK ... I want some free pots, I could try free cycle

 

Asda do them as well, well mine does. I got some for free last year

 

Asda?! Why didn't I think of them ... We have one right in the middle of town and I walk by it most days but never thought to look in there, good to know their stores do it as well as they always get sold quick in Morrisons.

 

Currently growing my beans in one

 

Isn't it too early for beans Zig? Wont they need more room than you can provide indoors before it gets warm enough for them to go out?

 

I've only got Tesco's here and I've not seen them for sale there.

 

I've never seen them in Tescos here either. The only bargain you get in Tescos is if you go late evening, sometimes you get perfectly good bread for about 20p.

 

Big house, no wife. I can fill it with plants now
