Whatever you buy, make sure you are buying clean and sterile pots (which may not be the case at a 'hardware' store). The above merchants sell clean stuff for greenhouses and see startings.

Answer 2

Actually, they do not have to be sterile. Most nurseries who sell or give out their pots do not have diseased plants. Home gardeners also give out pots when the interest wanes or they have too many; you would wash these, anyway.

Charley's Greenhouse sells lots of stuff; some more expensive than others. Any garden center sells 4 inch pots, and they can even be found at places like KMart and the like at certain times of the year.

Answer 3

Advertise in your local newspaper ,
that you need second hand 4" plant pots , for potting up ASAP.

If anybody is clearing out their shed or greenhouse,
they will be delighted to see them, be re-cycled,
rather than thrown out .

Once people know you need them and will use them ,

you should get, a steady stream, of pots land on your doorstep
.
Most people will be happy to let you have them for free
Though ,you might like to offer, one or two plant cuttings in exchange . :)
Or pay them so much, per batch of pots

Happy planting !!
