Adsibob Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 I’m after some fairly large plant pots, prefer in terracotta. Minimum diameter 36cm but 45cm would also be fine. On the continent, these are cheap as chips, yet over here the garden centres charge a fortune for them. Anyone recommend any online suppliers that are affordable? With these being breakable, the delivery charges soon add up…
SteamyTea Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 (edited) I generally find that B&Q, The Range, B&M etc have reasonably priced planters, they often have a sale come the end of the summer. Edited August 10, 2024 by SteamyTea

Alan Ambrose Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 Be aware the cheap ones from China or S Europe are not really frost proof. The only ones I’ve come across that actually are are Yorkshire Pots.

Onoff Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 First tub above had 4, no hope, pecked to bits butternut squash plants in. Now: I'll be after some woman's tights soon.
