Went to Instore last week and saw those large plastic trug things - like a big floppy squidgy bag, in very bright colours - for £3. I treated myself to two. They'd be great for planting potatoes.

I have the same problem........ ;D

Couln't use anything yellow either, that would be even worse!
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴
