Allotments 4 All

If you go into your local supermarket and look at there cut flowers you will notice they are in a plastic bucket about 10" across and about the same deep with no holes in them , I use these for growing toms / peppers in and put a ring of holes about 3" up from the bottom to make a 3" water table in the bottom.
I know my local somerfields and coop will give them away if you ask , but sometimes they ask for a donation into a charity box. :o :o

Thankyou for thinking of us all Carl but I think almost everyone on here uses them. We even have a Hyacinth Bucket woman on here lol

that's no problem , just don't like to see good plastic buckets binned

I cut the bottoms out... then plant them in grow bags...  :)

Have fun with yours and ignore ACE'S calumny when he tries to tell you that the FREE CO-OP Black Bukkits bio-degrade half-way through a season ::)

hi there
i have just got a load of these, my sis is a manager of a co-op so i will have endless suplie.  ;D

Hyacinth thank's for the reply , and spudsmummy i had the same thing as my partner worked for somerfield on fresh produce so use to bring them home.

I just knew that the buckit woman would turn up

I have just got a load of these pots for my peppers. I wont put the holes 3 inches up though as peppers hate sitting in water and catch diseases very easily this way. They much prefer to be dry.
