Re: Re: OT Flower Pots

Yeah, I need a sweater when it's that kind of balmy.

Hi Char,

Welcome to the group, I'm sure that any questions you may have on just about
any subject will either be answered or commented upon.LOL

Seriously, this group possesses a wealth of knowledge on a bunch of topics,
especially on gardening. I'm Rich in Northern Z-5 in Eastern central
Nebraska, where it is a balmy 72 degrees with a slight North wind.

HI,

I have an Iris garden. I am going to plant my leftover Iris in the
containers and sell them when visitors come to see my Iris in bloom in the
spring. If this works I will expand the effort.

So, Char, tell us what you are potting in all these nursery containers.

One reason I like the Morton cntrs that I mentioned is that they are
rather
soft material. I label my plants with a nylon tag gun and it's much
easier
to get the needle through these than through some of the heavier,
stiffer
ones. I have always purchased from Morton the bundle sizes which for
trade
gallons was, I believe, 75. I notice that they now have removed the
bundle
quantity info from their site. I don't see anything re minimums.

I get my nursery containers in various ways. A good, fast mailorder
source
at a reasonable price is Morton Products. Well, they're more
reasonable
for
me than for you since Indiana is closer to Tennessee than Wisconsin
is.
I
get 14 cent trade gallons from them and a terrific 8 inch mum pan
for
23 
cents - a great size when the roots are more wide than deep.
I post a sign when I have my April plant sale telling people to
bring
me
any 
and all containers and many people do.
I'm a Master Gardener and work in our little nursery.  Lots of
people
bring
used containers there and we only keep certain sizes there. So I
often
take
home some of the excess. We also get containers from local
nurseries,
as
Jim mentioned. They are often happy to get rid of certain kinds.

Hi, Char.

If you want new ones, most nursery supply stores will have them.
Home
Depot carries them also. If you want used ones, talk to local
landscape
contractors. They generally have a bunch they'd be glad to get rid
of.
