I was good and didn't buy any, but all of the pots and most of the garden crap at Dollar General are buy one get one, so you can walk out with 4 usable 6" pots for $1. Just throwing that out there for my fellow passengers on the struggle bus. Community pots for your sprouts? There you go. 

I think the small pots (5") I bought were 20¢ each and the larger (10" or 12") were 50¢ each. But you buy a stack of 100. So $20, $50.

I guess they're doing a better sale up there but it's a bigger market. Here it's just BOGO of whatever's left on the shelf.

Oh that's a little different. I'm classy so I'm using cups and soda bottles as long as I can, but I see the appeal of the grow bags that growers like Sabal King and Teddy are using for big volume growing. 100 for $17 isn't bad. They're easier to pack too, if I ever have any luck selling anything. 

Also you can always ask Lowe’s/Home depot or any nursery if they have extra cheap nursery pots. I pretty much grow all my potted palms in stuff I’ve reused. I don’t think I ever purchased a pot except for the large pots my cold hardy coconut and bizzie are in.

I used to care what my pots looked like. I think last year I snatched up a couple clearance dollar store pots, but tbh they were there and they were cheaper than ordering 100 off of Amazon or eBay. At the time I never thought I'd need 100 pots. Well now I kinda feel like I do lol. Right now these have my attention, I think most of what I've got sprouting and germinating will be fine in 1 gallons for a while and I've got a big bin that I can use to carry these all in and out at once if I need to.

Those bags look like the ones I got from the big orange box at the beginning of the year. They have so far held up perfectly to sun and lawn sprinklers so my only real complaint is that the drainage may be too good so I’ve taken to adding a coffee filter or two before filling with dirt. 

An interesting perk of growing in a bag is if you buy a size larger than you need you can fold the bag down until it’s the right height. If you water using a hose, you’ll figure that one out real fast!p I think Sabal King points that out during his irrigation setup video. 

I honestly... The appeal to me with the bags right now is that I can cram a whole bunch into a container. Which kinda blows my rationale to hell because I've been saving soda bottles for a year to upcycle into small planters. They ain't 1 gallon though. And despite the fact that I pretend to be an idiot on here who kills everything he touches, my plants grow really well, especially their root systems. I dunno what it is I'm doing and I'm not claiming to be an expert by any means, but I was looking at some of my Bermudana the other night and it's like HOLY LORD look at those roots! Maybe it's the soilless media. Maybe it's the way I water them as seedlings - I rarely deep water them, I just heavily mist the top..maybe it's a combination of the two. But if I was a full time grower no way I could afford this soil for hundreds of plants. 

 

Look at this unit. The one I put in the ground was even more impressive. I think I've been saving 16 oz bottles for nothing.
