Any affordable places out there to buy plastic (reusable) nursery pots of all different sizes?
I have found a few sources that run between .15 - .45 per pot depending on size. ( I don't need anything over 1 gallon size either!)

Ideally looking for 1 quart size to 3 quart size. New or used

Thanks,
Christie :D

A 6" by 6" pot is a little smaller than 3 quarts.

They cost me 24/each, wholesale.

Your ".15 - .45 per pot" may be a pretty good buy depending on how many you wish to buy.

Unless you need quite a massive amount, two good tactics would be a) go to a local retail greenhouse/nursery/garden-center and ask if they have any discards they would sell you (when I've done this, they've ended up *giving* 'em to me); or b) put up a note on the church or supermarket or feedstore bulletin board, or classified in the local 'free' paper, as many many people have oodles of them stuffed into a corner of the garage and would be glad to get rid of them.

Good luck, have fun,

Pat
