Got mine at Marshalls(a seasonal thing) and they are better than the laundry popups because the specific gardening ones have hard plastic bottoms that have a few holes for drainage. Also found more at Tuesday Morning and Big Lots..(again , seasonal) and bigger ones at Smith and Hawken before they closed. Don't think I've spent more than 9.99.

They are contextual advertising and are one of the sources used to pay the bills so Garden Web remains a free website. I understand that, but I still don't like them. Click on the link below to read the announcement about them, and then click on the link in that announcement to Opt Out. Once you opt out, there shouldn't be any contextual advertising popping up in anything that you post. Dawn Here is a link that might be useful: Vibrant Advertising Announcement

I made the edits to the host file as noted in a recent post somewhere here, as well as setting my popup blocker to high. It's a little bit of a PITA when I DO want to see a popup (like calculating shipping at eBay), but nothing that I can't just right click and say "Allow from this site, or temporarily" Hope you find a simple solution, too. I like GinGins...sounds like the easiest fix.

I tried to do the honorable thing and write (contact us) GardenWeb about my concerns for the invasive pop-ups....in part, here is what I got as a reply from Garden Web: Hi fireduck, We've got some exciting news to share with you.
