Free is Good

I've got two in my area, may have to go ahead and hit them up for next season. I already have everything I need and more for this year but it seems like an exponentially growing hobby.

Yep. The small pots are always there. Gotta check in frequently for the larger ones. Some small nurseries will give them away also. I've also heard that landscapers will save them for you too.

Are those big ones tree pots?

How many gallons are they you think?

They are number 15 pots so 12 or 15 gallons i think.

That is awesome. Will do that myself

Nice score. I get 15 gallon pots for $3 to $5 and I thought that was pretty good. You're right, this hobby turns into a monster quickly!

Will do the same here, happen to know someone who works at one. Great idea

Thanks for the info, flipback.

The small ones (6" or under) , not a problem. I have plenty of them. I like to have some in 2 1/2 to 5 gal range for may peppers. I Know the landscapers who plants shrubs, have lots of them. But that may come too late for this season. When I was moving from Atl, Ga, I had tons of them that I trashed (City recycle)

Seysonn: Lowe's usually has quite a bit of the #5 for free. I think they're 3 gal. A tad too small for me for peppers. Some will argue.

Kevin

the three gal. ones are perfect for the smaller ornamental plants.

Thanks Kevin, Dave.
I will try Lowes some time. I also think that ornamental and some others with small compact growth habit can do ok in 3 gal. soil.
