Am I not suppose to know those names? Because I dont :) .. The bags I checked out seemed kind of flimsy, like they'd be easy to knock over with a little wind... even with dirt in them I feel like it's just shaped oddly to 'naturally' stand up
 
Hey Nicole. Something to consider if you are going to go with the pots. Last week I looked on craigslist for 5 gallon nursery pots and came up with multiple places that had them cheap. A landscaper a few miles from me had a mountain of them she was trying to get rid of. I got 45 of the 5 gallon pots for 50 cents each. Other people were selling theirs for $1 each. They are slightly smaller that the typical 5 gallon bucket, but I think they will work fine for me.

Good idea I love craigslist!

There is an Ace Hardware.. I will check them out also to see if the one by me has anything... last time I was there it was pretty lame though
 
It seems landscaping companies collect them in huge numbers and need to get rid of them or they pile up quickly. I should have taken a picture of the mountain of nursery pots is saw from a small landscaping operation, there were thousands. I also like the idea of recycling by reusing.
 
I got a bunch today from someone on craigslist, most of them are pretty small.. like the next size (or maybe two sizes up from seedlings which is good because I do need an inbetween size

I am still going to have to hit up the nurseries for them !
