    I asked at my local tesco without any joy

      I did a charity plant sale and asked for some and they gave me 250. We sold them for 50p each.

      Made £500 for our charity.

        Are you talking about the pots they keep the bunches of flowers in to sell? If so... I'm gonna find a friend with a car and have a visit to asda. I'm thinking about my tom plants.

          Have had loads free from Asda. None from Tesco though as they say they re-use them

              No Asda or Morrisons near enough to warrant asking for some pots. Do Waitrose give them away?

              Feels like I'm missing out here

                I asked in the Waitrose near my Mum and Dad and they said they re-cycle theirs.

                  Having done the maths and checked it using a electronic adding machine, I can safely say that your sums are wrong.

                      But they have shrunk now ! (Morrison Flower Buckets ) I just got a stack of 8 for 99p but they are smaller than last years which were a full bucket size. This lot are slightly shorter and a smaller diameter.

                        I'm lucky. My mates son works there and I get loads free. If you cut the bottoms out, they make great pigeon defences for young brassicas and stump root fly.

                          Brilliant idea Norm, now all I have to do is get some!

                            I just rang our asda and got the 'I'm afraid we recyle them, best bet is B&Q.' talk. So i said i was hopeing to recycle rather than buy new cos it was better and the lady said she couldn't help... Anybody had any luck at the derby asda?

                              At ours they have 2 sizes the big ones and the smaller ones, and mixes of the 2. They probably just ran out of the bigger ones.

                                Well friends, I finally got some yesterday. My daughter asked at the biggest Asda here and was given 10 free of charge. The manager had never been asked for them before and he was only too happy to give them freely as they are destroyed after use. He suggested going back for plenty more at the weekend when flower sales are higher, hence more buckets and even suggested telephoning first and they could be left for me at Customer Services. Cracked it at last thank goodness!
