Is there nothing in the Soparco catalog? It shouldn't be too hard to order a carton from a nursery supplies wholesaler if you need that many.

Regards
Dave.

I found the Soparco catalog impossible to read - the text was too small on the web page, and although it said something about downloading a pdf of it, there was no download button. It was about the worst user interface for selling something I have come across.

On my android tablet, just tap and hold on a page and it should give you an option to download a page as pdf. I guess the PC equivalent is to right click on the page.

Agree, I'm no fan of these electronic books, they all seem to have teir own quirks.

Seems to depend on the browser - Microsoft Edge opens the pdf but there is no save option that I can see, only print or read aloud via right click on page. Switching to Chrome there is a toolbar which seems to give a save option...

Thanks Jim, that saved me doing that!

It also is fine on my mobile, clicking one of the catalogues brings up the front page, top left there's the usual three-line menu symbol, and clicking that shows a pdf download choice.

Mind you, I haven't found those pots yet in the catalogues! I suspect I would use Uhlig, too.

Today Microsoft Edge is also displaying the toolbar

Having looked through the catalogue I haven't yet found 8cm pots, there are 7 and 9 while socks last or special order but pack sizes might be too big anyway
