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.

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!

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!

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.
