Re: Plastic pots etc.

I used to hoard all manner of containers that might serve as useful plant pots. I eventually overcame it, which was good in a sense because instead of lots of dirty pots and margerine tubs I had a sensible number of decent pots that I was able to wash and store tidily. Things have slipped recently a...
