Heavy wind proof pots

[peanut]

Hi all,

Where do you find the best place is to buy heavy weight pots from?
I live up in The Fens and it's a bit windy at times! I have lots of things in pots ranging from trees to small plants, but looking around I've been shocked at the price of pots made from anything other than terracotta coloured plastic!
I'm hoping to find some with larger bottoms than tops! so they're less likely to go flying!

Many thanks

I put rocks and bricks in the bottom of my plastic pots. I stack them together, smallest ones in the middle, when its specially windy.
I have one heavy "proper" pot which I rescued from a skip. Its too heavy to lift, but the wind still bowls it around the patio.

Wilkos aren't too bad, I just ordered 4 terracotta pots from them, glazed, a nice size for tomato plants for £4.99 each.

Have you tried your local Re-cycling centre, our tends to have quite a few and fairly reguarlly. I managed to get a big wooden one i'm growing aritichokes in at the moment.
Or post on freecycle thats always good for the buget we just managed to get a next to new shed off it.
