This was, and is, one of my concerns with the Morton pots. In 2002 I bought
100 or more mum pots and was concerned because they were more flimsy than
the ones I'd been getting used at the local nursery. (But the nursery had
started charging me a great deal more for used pots than I was paying for new
ones.)
At this point (3 years) I've not lost any of the Morton pots! On occasion I
forget an empty pot in the garden and have to chase it down! I have high
winds here. There are a bit more 'rubbery' and the smaller ones require a
little more care when carrying. They've been mixed in with the other pots and I
don't really notice the difference now. (Until I dump one because I forgot to
be careful!)
Only bought the larger ones last year and I'm quite pleased with them. They
have handles molded into the sides and are thicker than the mum pots.
