Actual nurseries around here sell them for about a buck a piece. They are used and you need to sterilize them but that ain't no thing.

Do the aesthetic qualities of the pots matter? because if not just use buckets with a ton of holes drilled in em, about $2.50 a pop at casa de pot

I get them for free from my local grocery store. I noticed a few of them sitting around the bakery/deli so I asked if they ever had any extras and what they did with them. She directed me to the recycling bin behind the store and told me to help myself whenever I needed. I've picked up a dozen or more ranging from 1-6 gallons. They're all white food-grade plastic. I just wash them out well and drill some holes.

Agreed! OSH has the 5 gallon buckets for about 3.00 a piece, drill holes in the bottom and you're all set, they work just fine. :)

Some restaurants use them and usually throw them out or will give them away. Burger joints are good bets to find em. I use them and like them better than most... theyre thicker and sturdier.

Since I live in a small town and the closest store is 130 miles away I bought a 100 of the 5 & 4 gal off ebay think they came out to about .50 with shipping
