Seeking a source of half-pots

[Maggi Young]

This question just in.... any ideas, please?

Can you tell me a good supplier for half pots? Garden centres seem to stock only full size pots which are too deep fpr a lot of alpines. Growers quality plastic are sufficient for my needs.

The few I have are very very old, manufactured by WARD. I used to buy when visiting the UK. Probably at the RHS enterprises Wiseley. Have they disappeard from the market?

Most garden center plants seem to come in half pots and lots of these end up at our local recycling center where they can be taken away, dirty, for a few pence.

Maggi,

By half pots, are you meaning "squat" pots?  I.e those of a shorter height?  They're freely available here in Aus, in plastic at least.  I see the terracotta version regularly as well, if what I am thinking of is what you're thinking of?

[Maggi Young]

Yes, Paul, it is your "squat pots". Here we call them half-pots ot half-pans. My questioner is in Scotland so a UK source would be best.... I ought to have said that initially.... I was rushing, as usual!

Maggi,

I'd assumed that they were overseas in relation to us, but at least if there is no other option then perhaps getting them from Australia would be a possibility.  At least plastic isn't THAT heavy, in comparison to terracotta at the very least.
