 I work at Asda and last year I got loads for nothing. We dont send them back they go in the mangler. I asked why ppl couldnt be given them and was told that it would be a nuisance if ppl expected them and started asking all the time. Fair enough really , once things are expected, ppl abuse it.
Oh for those halcyon days of England long ago

The greeter in our Asda told me they stopped giving them away as people often sold them on, but he made an exception for me. I must look honest :)

speaking as a florist and the owner of many black buckets.  Although they stick together they do come apart when you run them under hot water.  Handy if you want one that doesnt leak from drilled holes

I've been getting these buckets from morisons for a while now 8 for 99p, when i went there the other day there was none about , had a word with the lady that deals with fruit veg and flowers she put my name down for 6 lots of them when they had gathered enough they rang me up to come and collect, maybe people might want to try and ask to see if they will do this for them as well, nothing to lose in asking, my partner wouldn't do this he reckons i'm being cheeky in asking but you dont get anything unless you ask nowadays, got loads of pots the other day from local garden centre as well was welll chuffed

They are the perfect size for aubergine plants  :)

You cannot move in my 6 x 6 greenhouse because of them.

Only been a member for five minutes but already amazed at the resource and advice available on the site - and this topic is a good example of how great it is.  I have shopped in Morrisons locally for donkey's years and never, ever noticed these pots.  Since reading this thread I looked and, oh dear, they they were, or at least there they were until I chucked 'em into my trolley.  Presumably they have been there for yonks, just goes to show what you can see when you know what to look for.......

Used a camping stove to heat the business end of a huge philips screwdriver and punch-melt 8 drain holes in each from a couple of batches (although prior to reading the tricks for separating jammed ones I did manage to wreck one in trying to rip em apart)  and filled 'em with overflow toms, peppers etc.   Brill idea for a few spuds though - how did you do those, was it plant in half full pot and earth up as it grew or what?

I put about 3" compost then seed tatty on top and covered it with more compost...then as it grows through just keep earthing up till its reaches top. Theyre ideal for folks with little space to grow things.
