Hadopots 4L Polythene Plant Pots (Pack of 50)

I bought these along with the 5L size as I wasnt sure what they would look like. These are an excellent size for my hostas when i have split them. It is better as another reviewer said to roll the tops over to fill with compost. The plastic is very strong so they can be reused and a pack of 50 is not only brilliant value for money, but take up little space. I prefer this size to the 5L which is better for larger plants.

Pots are well made from robust black flexible plastic but I thought the drainage holes were too big and allowed compost through.Also I find the sizing challenging, for example I could only get about 1 litre of compost into a 2 litre pot so will need to double up on the sizing next time.

Have ordered several lots of Hado pots in various sizes. Hadopots are very cheap compared to conventional pots, especially the larger sizes and hence useful for potting on large numbers of plants. They are also deeper which gives larger rooted plants a chance to fully develop before being planted out. They are not the easiest to use, being rather narrow at the top compared with a conventional pot and the top "flopps over" when filling. But because of the cheapness worth worth persevering with. The larger sizes are generally too deep and I cut 3" off the height.

I love these, easy to customise the height by rolling the top down. I secured this with copper slug tape (from Home Bargains, cheapest supplier)and grew runner beans in them. Great crop and no slug damage can’t ask for more!

They don't seem any wider than the 2L ones but are taller. Lost a star due to the holes being over big in the bottom. I had to cut pieces of weed suppressant to cover them.

Value for money

Cheaper than pots when you have a lot to plant. Sturdy enough once full with compost and plant.

Just a bag with huge holes at the bottom. I found these to be very messy to use, lots of soil comes out the bottom, they obviously aren't rigid so moving them around tends to disturb the roots. They're not suitable for indoor use and will leave a big mess to clean up. The holes at the bottom are too large as well, so I found those unusable and threw them away. The plastic didn't rip at all or anything, they're pretty strong, kinda suitable for nursery type environment
