any spare pots??
 
A bit of a cheek, I know, but does anyone in the Kinross and surrounding areas have any spare plastic garden pots. I have been doing a number of plant cuttings and i have run out. Went to buy some from Bunnings and couldnt believe how expensive they were!!!

Do you mean just the normal plant pot type pots, that you get plants in from Bunnings etc? Or do you want smaller ones?

I'm just up the road in Clarkson and have a few on our back patio. Drop me a PM and we'll arrange a time for me to drop them off on my way into work one day.

Alternatively, a length of polypipe cut into sections bedded into a potting mix is ideal for propogation.
