Has anyone got a source of 2 or 3 sizes of Plastic Colanders at a reasonable price for growing on purposes?

I have tried Reject Shop, K-Mart, Target and one of the junk shops at Westfield.

Any shops or on-line welcome.

I get mine from dollar stores, and I've heard of people here having success at Asian markets. That's in the USA of course, but may be worth a shot. Good luck.

I normally get mine from an online orchid nursery, they have them in different sizes and pack sizes too. I'll see if I can find the name of the place that I used but I just typed orchid nursery into google...

I got some purpose made ones from a hydroponics shop...they weren't expensive at all

Yes please.

Grant I have a Never ending supply of free colanders-only the one size though. I asked my local deli for there empty ricotta baskets when they had been used-I can easily accumulate 5/10per week at no charge.
May be worth asking a few different places

A deli near me sells the ricotta colanders for 50 cents each.

This is the size I get-they sometimes have a few larger ones also.

Worth a try...

Big W have them Grant in the kitchen section. I find some cheapie shops have them and some don't. Pot luck. I went to 4 or 5 before I found them. I now also get baskets that are 320x250mm. The holes are a little bigger but work ok.

Hi

You can get all sizes from Daiso. They are $2.80 each. Plenty of sizes. I live in Melbourne and there is a Daiso at Highpoint shopping centre and two in the city. There are probably more but these are the one I know.

Hope this helps.

I googled Daiso and there are some in Sydney so I will try next time I am there.

Many thanks.

Hadn't thought about Big W. We have one in Canberra so I will have a look; Maybe Cosco as well? We just got one of them as well.
