One gallon pots
The most common size at the garden center is a 1 gallon pot, referred to as a #1. In general round pots prevail over square Plant material consisting of flowers, trees, and shrubs from liners, cuttings, and flats typically go into #1's. Pot terminology is unique to the nursery trade. A 1 gallon pot only holds 3 quarts of soil in terms of liquid measure, but is still referred to as a #1. As for dimensions a #1 pot measures 6" wide by 7" deep and has a capacity of 183 cubic inches (6). Once the plant has been put into the pot, and some space has been left at the top for water, ten #1 pots can be filled with a cubic foot of soil. With 27 cubic feet of soil in 1 cubic yard, a nursery can pot up 270 #1 pots with a cubic yard of either soil or container mix. If #1's are placed pot-to-pot, in rows 12 pots wide, with 2.5 foot alleys between, approximately 2,700 #1's can be set out on 1,000 sq.ft. of ground.
