Does anybody know where I can buy those dark green 4 or 6 hole plastic containers that Nurseries use to sell their plants. Also those little stick in the dirt plastic veg identifiers.

well i dont know where to buy the containers ..but i recycle anything small and plastic and just cut the top off and start my plants in them ......and for identifiers i just cut strips from a milk jug and use a sharpie to identify them .......i try to do what i can to stay "green" all the way around lol .......if you use the idea of reusing the plastic i just wash mine after every year in a hot soapy water with bleach and allow them to dry then mist them with a sprayer with about 2 tb of bleach to gallon and then let that dry .....

I do not k now about the dk green containers, although why not try asking a nursery to sell you some of theirs??

and just friday night I saw the stick plant ideatifiers at Lowes...

also the Dollar stores have nice ones this time of year----

although myself I get the tounge depressers look alikes or popsicle sticks from a place like Michael's and use them for identifiers.

Places on the internet that have the small green or black pots are Peaceful Valley Farms and Harvest Home Many places sell them and the identifying sticks. Good luck.
