Hi Equil,

People give them to me. My Mom asks her friends to save their pots, etc. For most everything anymore I use clear plastic cups being 9oz. and I've ordered a lot of "Anderson Tree Bands" from OBC Northwest. 2 7/8" x 5.5" deep. Those I'll use for potting up bareroot understock seedlings in Spring and also for sowing large seeds such as Ginkgo, Quercus, Fagus, etc.

I used a plastic cups yesterday for example because I ran out of Anderson Tree Bands to plant my seeds of Ginkgo and for cuttings I took of Hibiscus syriacus 'Bluebird'

I also have tall nursery flats with holes in the bottom that are pretty ridid and they perfectly hold 20 of these clear cups. (I line them with newpaper then add my pots)

Here's a photo just for the fun/sake of showing:
