Anyone Selling Bottomless Pots?
Does any vendor sell decorative pots that are bottomless? I want a decorative way to create a tiny raised bed in a planting area. In the photo below, I circled a garden pot I just randomly set down in some groundcover. Of course I could drill out the bottom of any pot, but that is a lot of work, and for a ceramic pot it would be easy to crack it. Then you have to worry about sealing the edges if the pot is glazed.
A bottomless pot could be a decorative addition to a planting area on its own, while at the same time greatly simplifying draining by connecting the soil to the earth. I am actually quite surprised that this is not a larger product category, as it would really simplify many issues when doing a planting. I could use a small utility / Christy box, but I am hoping I have more decorative options available.

Comments (15)Hi how's business? I sell from home too and am loving the newspaper pots. I use a soup can to form mine, I am sure the potmaker tool would make too small of a container. I crease the bottom in and it kinda unfolds until I get it filled with potting mix and sat down in a tray, then it forms together after being wet. I put one staple in the top to keep in it a roll which I suppose will rust out and disapear in the ground. Professional? You're selling outside your house. People don't expect you to be a nursery. Put your energy into maintaining a nice looking yard and present yourself as clean and neat and friendly as you can. The nice thing about these pots is you can sell what the nurseries don't because of the transplanting. Morning glories and other vines like squash, anything taprooted. I don't use them for anything that's going to be potted for a long time. I use my recycled plastic pots for slower growing and slower selling things. I make em while I watch TV, otherwise yes, it would be too time consuming to be profitable. I'm glad to not have to store them, storing the plastic stuff was getting to be a problem....See MoreWhere to buy 'bottomless pots' retail?
Comments (1)The best place to buy them is at the local nursery supply house. Ask the nursery who they purchase them from. Around here in the East most use Griffin Nursery Supply. They should have a truck that delivers your area at least once a week. Mine is close enough for me to drive. Griffins runs from about Wash DC to Maine. they are on the internet. But they do not go west to colorado. You can also find them by contacting the manufacturer of the product or similar products and ask them for the local distributor.
