Those do look better than the pickle buckets I have Tony, you are right.

Any food service (deli, grocery store, restaurant) place will get similar plastic food buckets in various sizes for things like fruit salad, pickles, frosting, etc.  I get 2-3 five gallon pickle buckets every week from a local deli.  I've only been doing this for a few months but I already have a large surplus - and this is just one store.

It's really just a matter of making the right connection and you'll have more buckets than you can use.

They're really starting to get big quickly.  I bought this tree at a local nursery this year and these will probably be the first non BT figs I try.  I cannot wait!

The blueberries were quite large, I would estimate 2-3 years old and well-rooted.  One of the plants was in a gallon pot, and the other two were bareroot.  The gallon pot plant (Legacy) has already started flowering and is putting on lots of dark green new growth less than two weeks from transplanting into a larger pot.  The other two are also doing quite well.

I ordered a few different figs, blueberries, pomegranate and a pear from Raintree this year and all of the plants looked fantastic and were well-rooted.  Everything was packaged superbly and nearly all the plants have recovered and started putting on new growth (everything but the pear had already begun to leaf out).

By contrast I have to echo the ambivalence towards OGW.  While I think they have good prices on some items and the kiwi specimens they shipped were excellent. Their figs were about average, but have not begun to leaf out yet (got them at the same time as the Raintree order).  The pawpaw I got from them was somewhat overpriced for the size plant I received, and a significant portion of the varieties I initially selected were out of stock.

It seems like anyone who wants to grow more than a few varieties will eventually turn to container culture.

You could always just compost them like other woody cuttings.
