We here at Cloverleaf Farm grow all our crops from seeds. I have and need a gazillion pots. They are plastic pots, but I have not bought one of them. I take them from friends and neighbors who buy their annuals every year. I have been using the same pots now for years. Each year, I clean them up, and use them to start my seedlings.
Each year, they buy their annuals and I get new pots. The ones I don't use, I pass on to be recycled by someone who can use them.
Recycling is so important so that these plastic plant pots don't end up in the landfill before their time. Sooner or later they are bound to crack, break or rip apart, but until then, why not make good use of them.
You can use them for so may things. Out in the garden is only one area to use them. You can also use them to store paint brushes, markers, or crayons for kids. I use some in the house for odds and ends to keep track of.
There is endless possibilities. What ideas do you have to recycle plastic plant pots?
