    I bought these recycled plastic flexible pots back in 2012 somewhere and have not seen them in the garden centres or anywhere else for that matter, I always start my sweetcorn off in them and now I have two plots I need more pots!

    Anyone have any idea where I may be able to source them from, I seem to recall they were in a £1 or 99p shop but again never seen them since I originally bought them they are about 90mm diameter at the top 65mm diameter at the bottom and stand 80mm high

        I bought loads a couple of years ago in the 99p shop in Barnsley. I am still using them for sweetcorn among other things. They called them breeder pots for some reason.

            I'm using those, good little pots. They're a bit of a pain in the bum to fill up !

              What's wrong with plastic milk carton bottoms ?

                Hadopots are a pain to fill up - I've given up on them, they're too much work - especially larger ones. The littles one arent too bad.

                What about the cardboard ones? Granted they're disposable but they're flexible and you can get them in the £ shops

                  Ummm not seen the cardboard ones, the ones I have look like normal pots they are round and stack but they are made of recycled soft plastic, they are just so convenient for growing sweetcorn gravel trays or cat litter trays.

                    Charlie Dimmock Recycled Garden Pots 30 Pack - Pots & Planters - Gardening these are the type I mean - I used them last year for my sweetcorn.

                    p.s. I'm assuming you're growing them in cat litter trays and not using them to grow cat litter trays

                      Vixylix, do you just plant the whole thing out, pot and all? I see the link says 8 cm. I take it that's diameter. How tall are they, do you know?

                        I found that those paper mache type pots seemed to suck all the moisture out of the compost, I couldn't get on with them at all.
