I am looking for some suitable pots for planting on from my seeding trays, ideally i would like to get some strong ones that i can use for many seasons, has anyone seen any suitable ones at a decent price?
I've been looking everywhere for some pots to put my tomatoes in when they start getting a decent size. I need about 30 of them, so really don't want to be paying a couple of quid each as will cost a fortune!

My local garden nursery gives pots away. They buy a lot of plants in and then repot them. I haven't bought any size pots in years - having said that they've now closed so they can retire so I'm really looking after my pots now.
I have to say I use the click and collect a lot. We have a smallish Wilko in our town so there is a limit to what they can stock (and they seem to be a bit arbitrary about seasons--all their manure got moved out early March for more summer-type tat). Do not fear 'clicking and collecting' small orders--my record is 50p (and they really don't seem to mind)!
#9 If you mean a final pot I use black flower buckets as do many others 99p for 8.
Mine start off in 20mm x 20mm x 30mm deep plug modules, then they go to vending machine cups with two holes melted in the bottom with trusty soldering iron then work their way up the pot sizes. Wyevale's have a bin where you can help yourself to recycled pots, I now have all the sizes I need.
Finally as above they make it to flower buckets. Morrisons charge for them but the Co-op give them away as they don't reuse them. The Tesco square ones you can no longer get for love or money.
