You have some very nice friends, PTD! What are you going to do with them?
Mine grew my best tomato crop the year before last - mainly because I could put them in a watering tray and the blight didn't nab my back garden!

Lucky you PTD. Every time I go down to Morrisons, I'm always too late - they seem to be all sold out by 8am. Glad to hear they've gone back to the larger size though.

Where you been DK?
Everyone knows about morrisons buckets.

They are the buckets that the cut flowers come in.
In our store they are by the cut flowers and are normally 99 pence for 8.

Drill holes in the bottom you have some nice big pots.

you'll have seen em, they are florist buckets(they put flowers in them)!
by the way most florists sell them off cheap too, i get about 10 for £1 at my local florist!

I've been eyeing up similar buckets in Tesco so next time I'm gonna ask if I can have!!!

My mother-in-law brought me 20 florist buckets form Asda the other day, they didn't charge her, the week before last I picked up 16 from Morrison's for 99p. The florist on the market is also going to save me 20 after mothering Sunday, don't really need anymore but its good to have a stock of them lol

The small Co op near here gives them away, the manageress said if I see empty ones on the display stand to take them if I want

A tried and tested way to use double the normal number of buckets!
Get a large and a small bucket. Put drain holes in the smaller one, put it on a few stones inside the larger one. Water and feed into the larger one which is them sucked up by the smaller one. Ideal for growing tomatoes on a hard surface inside a GH as the water doesn't go all over the floor.

Tesco and Asda let you have them for free, they just bin them when they're finished with them - shocking! I've around 100 of them in my garage - great for toms etc

Chiris why do you need 100?, have you got a bucket habit, do we need to get you some help.

[Matt94]

I bought 24 from the morrisons in Basingstoke for £3. I'm going to have a go at growing some spuds in them. The only thing was each pack of 8 had 4 large buckets with 4 smaller ones inside. I'm guessing it's only the larger ones that will be any good for potatoes so I might have to go back for some more.
