Plant pots are expensive! When you have dozens of plants in need of potting out, you soon realise how much of a rip off Homebase and such is - something like a quid per pot. I get the smaller ones from the 99p shop, but I've stopped chucking them away. I've even contemplated knocking on people's doors when they have loads of old ones in their front gardens, and asking if I can have them. But er, that means talking to people and I don't do that. But needs must when you decide to go on ebay and buy fucking hundreds of chilli plants, I suppose.

I find that if you express an interest in plants with a neighbor you can end up with all sorts of things.
Like more plants, potting soil, plant pots, and even a tree. Of course, it's just being neighborly, so there's a double benefit.

And humans aren't that bad. Most welcome a little human contact in our day and age.
