Great Tips! My favorite is the one about using moist straw in an upside-down pot to catch earwigs and relocate them! Earwigs love munching on our young lettuce, so I'm eggciting to try this next spring!

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.

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.

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. Looking forward to catching you again 🙋‍♀️

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!

I’m a member of several garden clubs and hoard used pots of all sorts. We use extra pots for plants, cuttings and seedlings to share/swap at local events. 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.

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)

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!

At least they've started making more colours. The tall grey-green ones actually look nice with houseplants or herbs in them.

I never want to part with plant pots. So I am glad I have several tied up in a big plastic bag. Now that I just been awarded an allotment. I will be making use of the plant pots. Thanks for sharing.

I often recycle old pot poodle pots etc to use for seedlings.i still have the obligatory pile of old plant pots mind, I don’t think you’re a real gardener without the pot pile.

Excellent bunch of great ideas for us gardeners! 😉 My pearl 💚 I sprinkle wood ash on my compost layers, I never have to turn it, just water. 🤗 When it gets done it's like coffee grounds, black gold for plants. 😋

I have tons of these pots in varying sizes. I haven't had the heart to dispose of them, but thanks to your video, I don't have to! Awesome ideas, I subscribed immediately. Looking forward to binge watching the other videos on your channel.

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!

Thanks for another great vid! I live in an arid climate and municipal water is very expensive. So I do all my washing with potassium based soap such as Oasis or Dr. Bronner (rather that sodium based soap or detergent). I use the minimum amount to do the job - usually 1-5 drops per gallon. That way I can use the wash water on trees and shrubs.

This is a great channel, I always learn so much! Though, I have to check back from time to time to refresh my memory on what was shared. It has made me so happy and hopeful this morning as I try to do better at gardening. It has also lightened my heart a bit and diverted my attention from the ills and struggles in the world for a while. I love these ideas and hope to use the earwig on the stick advice 🙂 first among some of the others. Thank you from the USA.

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.
