LF Plant Weights

hey there

I believe they are actually lead weights, but I could be wrong. These ones on ebay are anyways:

You can get them off ebay worst case scenario if no on has them here.

I've only got a couple otherwise I'd give them to you for free.

I've only got 3 though. Check that ebay link, they're dirt cheap.

I got mine online from BigAlsOnline.ca They weren't expensive at all.

That's even cheaper than eBay. Good catch Morainy!

Weird that they say lead is non-toxic. I was told they were zinc but it looks like I'm wrong. Thanks for the info. No one wants to part with their weights?

I have about 200 lead plant weights

You can buy a roll of solid solder used for plumbing and cut off pieces as needed for plant weights. If you want flattened, ribbon weights, a little use of a hammer quickly makes them from the round solder. Solder approved for plumbing now contains no lead and is non-toxic. Just be sure to buy the solid solder , not the acid or rosin core rolls .

Good tip Dave, thanks. May be the best solution!

I looked into the solder suggestion at Rona, but it seems like it would be more expensive. Rolls are about $11-$14 and I'm guessing they would be about 20 3" strips. The material seems quite light also. No lead though, which is probably better.

Plant weights found. Please close.
