Wally world has big rope handled buckets for 6.96 for those of you who must lug you figs in and out. I am going to get a couple to plant tomatoes in. drill a few holes in the bottom and I am set to go. Joyce

Here is another good deal available online at Walmart. I just ordered a set of 8 of the Homz rope handled 17 gallon containers for $25.88, or at a price of $3.22 each. Free shipping to the store. Walmart #: 550893820
This may be a typo but I am going to hold them to it.

Thanks for the information. I always like to learn from those with more experience. I am also looking at plant stands to elevate my pots off of the concrete and perhaps reflective foil to wrap the pots. Has anyone seen some good results to avoid overheating the roots?
