I have hundreds. Different sizes. Neatly arranged. I never throw any of them away till they crack or break. I don’t wash mine till I’m going to use them. I use old mini blinds as plant labels. I take them apart and cut them down.

You can also use old pots to sift your compost. Choose a pot with appropriate drainage holes. Half fill it with compost. Then shake it up and down. It holds back the bigger pieces and lets through the finer stuff. Ideal for creating a layer of fine material for seed sowing on top of a pot partly filled with unsifted compost.

Yes! I use the much larger containers as plant collars for tree saplings as well because they protect the trunk from weed whackers. I also save the cut off bottoms also for saplings. I cut to the centre hole and enlarge it to fit around the trunk. The bottom keeps weeds away.

As well as having sacks of old pots of different sizes, I buy the largest yoghurts from my local supermarket so I can turn the pots into extra pots or those handy tool holders. I have used old margarine tubs (or similar) for making plant labels. I live near a river and not so far from a beach, and I have rescued a number of plastic buckets and drums for conversion into potato pots.

If you do want to keep your pots, put them in a shed that isnt hot or exposed to sunlight. The plastics can break down causing micro plastic into your soil. This can be taken up through the stoma of plants. If they are just for ornamental plants or do not plan on using for food plants that may not be an issue for you. Check the recycling number. Some pots break down very easily like styrofoam which should not be used for growing in. As always Mr. GrowVeg has wonderful ideas!

Brilliant video !! Here in Germany we have a free bulk refuse collection once a year, for some reason it’s not accepted in with our plastic rubbish. I got rid of soooo many plastic pots earlier this year it was embarrassing how many had accumulated 🙈 And they’re starting to accumulate again. Only difference is your ideas for recycling them. I like the idea for labels and reducing the amount of earth used in larger containers. The trick with tomatoes is especially good. Thank you! I really enjoy your tips and videos , you’re always so cheerful and positive so even if I’m not going to plant that particular vegetable the video has given a positive lift to the day.

Our library holds a free swap event in both the spring and the fall. On average there is as many as 600-700 plants to share with our community and the event is well attended.

I tried to reuse my pots where I can. I fill my large planters with them before filling with compost and it really does make a difference to the amount used. I also always clean mine before storing them. I rinse, wash in soapy water with a cap of dettol and then rinse off before letting them dry. I do take a lot of cuttings and also self seeding plants I like to give a way so always in need of pots. I like the idea of using to protect from the frost so I think I will be doing that if needed this winter.

I painted all my larger black pots white before I reused them because our growing season here in Perth, Western Australia is way too hot & sunny and black pots dehydrate EVERYTHING, even the sun loving types of plants. I also use old pots as fillers in bigger pots & you can also use any other plastic food containers such as bottles or old yoghurt tubs etc. It’s what I do to create succulent displays in big pots. Makes it easier on your back too. I like the idea about chopping the coloured ones up for plant labels. Thank you!

I like to use smaller plastic pots to grow new seedlings. Also, I try to keep a plastic pot tray (the thing that keeps lots of plants together at a store) those are a great way to transport many smaller potted plants home. If it is good enough for the store to transport and store them, it works well for you as well.

Thanks Ben for those ideas, i didn't think of using the pots as a cover for your young plants, considering i use juice bottles with the bottoms cut off and the screw lid left off, to cover my Onions and Garlic. The one were you wash the pots out in soapy water and a bendy bucket as i call them, i do the exact same thing using an old toothbrush for those areas not reachable with the bigger brush, onced washed i then put them in another bendy bucket of cold water just to rinse off the soap suds, then i just leave to air dry. Apart from sifting every compost bag that i buy, this washing of pots is another therapeutic thing for me to do. TC. Barry (Wirral)

the best thing for plastic labels is to get an old venetian blind with plastic slats, and break the slats into convenient lengths. People are always throwing old blinds out, so if you don't have one, just look around the neighborhood dumpsters.

Many thanks, Ben. Love this episode and the many creative ideas and solutions you're sharing with us and me. I'm a truly terrible gardener, even the word is far from close to describe how I unenthusiastic and unmotivated I am tending my lawns; the weeds are fast taking over and before long, they are taller than me. I'm only good at watering, the simplest of simple task. That makes me just a "waterer". But your show give me some hope. And what a lovely garden you have. Cheers!

Thanks so much for all the ideas for pots. I often cut up the one litre milk containers for plant labels, they seem to last well, and as just frosted white, the sharpie shows up well. I do like your idea of the collars and frost protection, many thanks for the abridged book too!

Did download the book, will probably buy it as well as I like to have physical copies of things. I already do most of the things in the video, but always interesting seeing if there's new things I don't know about.

I've just acquired a bunch of plastic pots of different sizes which is great. Her comment was "you want them all?!" Little does she know I follow GroVeg! It's late spring here in New Zealand and I'm excited about the season now I've found your channel.

I love this video, I have hoard lots of pots and my husband gets mad when he saw me hauling some 😂🤣 I don’t know maybe I’m still hoping I would have a nice garden cuz everything is cemented here and no shades at all so every pots are dry and can’t keep up my veggies cuz I didn’t have a strategy, I have put my trellis in any way I could and it looks crappy 😂🤣 need some a little help in organizing and planning. Thank you Ben for a wonderful video so satisfying to watch your garden 👍❤️👩‍🌾🥰 take care and be safe always
