Cheap Gardening Pots and Cells with Free Shipping?

[Imperialboy]

I want to see if there are any sites online that sell 4", 6", 32 cells, 72 cells, domes and trays online. Preferable with free shipping so the price doesn't kill me.

If not, I gotta head to my local nursery again to get only 72 cells for my seeds.

Have you asked your local nurseries and garden supply stores if they have any extra containers they don't need? Another of our members found those to be excellent resources, as have I over the years.

I'll ask them. So I just ask a worker there if they have an extra cells or trays that you guys don't need?

I've gotten a few over the years. I'll try again tho.

Reading that thread Kisal, I also saw that people got horse manure for free. No horse stables and such around here but brings up another question.

What's an alternative to mushroom compost?

I'm seriously considering campaigning to convince the kids that they need some cute cuddly pet rabbits... Or maybe Guinea pigs...

Free is always better if you can find it! For the 3 - 4" pots, my friends know to save all the ones they buy plants in and bring them to me. But if I'm buying this kind of stuff, I usually get it from

GreenhouseMegastore.com

They sell 100 trays worth of cell inserts (whatever size you want) for $59 + $10 shipping. Even with the shipping, that's only about 7 cents a tray.

[Imperialboy]

Yeah. I don't need 100 trays...yet.
So I guess the best option is just go to the nursery.

Or maybe Guinea pigs...

I think Guinea pig is a great idea.
