Title: New Large Deep Pots
Post by: Blonde Ingrid on June 23, 2018, 04:31:34 PM

Just started using these pots for my Swaps/Spares Bunker!

They are the best I have used. Particularly useful for re-pots with long roots, the bulb can be held at correct level and the roots dangle to be covered in soil mixture.

Wider top than others I have seen and much deeper to encourage growth. If you keep drops in conventional pots these are a great addition.

I still use pond/Orchid pots for the ground and normal bunkers.

Nigel Kembrey (Hardy Palms) has a good range of sq. extra deep pots some with two base options. I have one of their 11 x 11 x 20 pots with the non grid bottom and it is as good as those on Ingreds link, the sides are more rigid too. This one is made by BAMAPLAST as I assume all are judging from the descriptions. I paid £52.99 for 100 13 x 13 x 18 delivered.
