Is there a national shortage of these or something? Everywhere's run out.

Certainly none here   I'm thinking of making tomato rings from roofing felt but not sure if this it's strong enough.

Morrisons still get them - I bought another 30 just last week.
And florists etc.
They're still delivered daily from Holland full of flowers - but maybe demand is higher and they're selling quicker?

My Asda wouldn't let me have any, free or otherwise. They said they don't give them away because they're all re-used...

Our local asda (Longbenton) recycle there's, The greeter was only too happy to give me some.

our garden centre ran out last year but I only wanted three (about 12" size) so they gave me some of theirs

same here nipper my asda said no to florists buckets - I ended up buying big black buckets for car washing from the motorist section 3 for £2.50 - last week bought some big plastic storage crates  about 18ins x 24ins 3 for £4 ready for my toms in greenhouse - if i ever get my plants out the greenhouse and up the allotment that is

No wonder they ran out with people buying 30 at a time

I use the big tubs that pelleted chicken manure comes in. I've got an old tool my Dad used to use like a long screw with a handle on top and I make drainage holes with that so the plastic doesn't crack. I don't suppose it'd matter too much if it did.

Morrisons were doing some lovely Tall ones perfect for new pots, tomatoes beans etc.

Got to get them while I can, Scribbler - like you, I usually arrive and find them sold out. Since most of my veg has to grow in pots until I get an allotment, it's amazing how many I get through - have already used 16 of those 30

Oh, dear I must be really greedy.  I've around 150 chilli plants growing in Morrisons flower buckets at the moment.

But 150? :shock:  You must LOVE chillis
