Anyone know where around Dublin centre I could find small (preferably) inexpensive exterior wall-mounted planters? The kind that are a metal frame not with an actual pot inside but with a brown liner (coconut husk/compressed dried moss?-- not sure what the liner is made of?) that your soil and plants go inside?

Don't have to be very large, a foot or so would be fine. It's the type of thing I swear I've seen in Lidl or even a pound shop before, but now don't see any anywhere, and I'd like to avoid have to drive out to a DIY shop and pay 20 or 30euro each.......

Here in the UK where I live up to a few weeks ago there were loads of them in the cheapie shops.( £1.00 shops.) Now you cannot get them for love or money.I went in Saturday to get a few and the shelves are bare.There has been a run on them it seems.I expect its the same in Ireland,When they are sold out they are gone.Hope you find some somewhere.
