Need 1 gallon pots

17 years ago

I was talking with some members on how to get more plastic pots. I am in need of 1 gallon pots. I dig up plants for a garden club plant sale, my own plant sale and many plant swaps. I just put a sign in the front yard for recycling pots but does anyone know where I might find some or clever ways I can get them without having to buy them? I checked the main Linders and bachmans and Wagners and they don't take in any pots. When I was at Gertens a nice employee dug me some out of the trash. ANy ideas would be helpful need to dig more for Dotties big swap this coming Saturday. Thanks Tammy

I have a bunch of various sized pots sitting around my garage. You are welcome to have some if you want to come pick them up. Send me an email if you're interested. I live in NE Minneapolis...

Check some of these sites, people give things away on them or ask a small amount.

If you need quart round pots, my postman just left me about 50 or so and I don't need them.

When I run out of pots I use plastic bags and have never had a problem with them.
