Look what I got for free!

Friday my wife ask me to go to the ATM at the nearby Navy Federal Credit union to get her some cash for her trip to Louisiana yesterday. We live in a rural area but the credit union built their headquarters here. Quite a large facility. As I drove up I noticed several landscapers at work planting Camillias. One was close to the road and I asked what he was going to do with the empty pots. His answer was he was giving them to me. I picked up what was empty and was told to be back at 3:30 for the rest as that was their quiting time. I went back about 3:20 and they were gone,but the rest of the pots were neatly stacked for me to pick up. Total of 69  6.25 gallon pots. I will never pass up an opportrtunity to ask again. You never know.

Good Deal, Happy for you. Love finding things for Free.

Nice!

Wow…. what a score!   

You’re going to have me hanging around landscape jobs now and making friends……… :-)

Way to go, and a good tip. I will be on the lookout too

My local nursery gave me a ton of those same size ones last year very cheap. Not that many though.

Re-using is so much better for the environment!

Very nice!!!

Congratulations!!

Score!!

Nice find man, put them to good use!

Very nice!  I got my free pots from a local landscape store.  One of the pots is 45 gallons, which won't be needed for many years.  Good to have though!

Nicely done Jake

That's a great find Jake. You'll be set for a long time.

Congrats!
Coupe of years ago some builders were building a house next door. I asked the landscaper to give me all the big pots. They were throwing them over the fence so I end up with 60-70 15 gal pots :-)

Way cool!

Nicely done Jake, now you need more cuttings!

Nice Jake ! You need to buy more land for all the new cuttings and trees coming :)
