Check with landscaping companies that install trees. Not the ones that grow their own trees and install them later, but the ones that buy trees and then install them for a price.
They will usually throw a few large pots your way for free or really cheap, especially if you offer to pick them up on a regular basis. Just as good as a whiskey barrel for growing, scrub them out and then rinse them in a 1 part bleach to 10 parts water solution to kill any nasty fungus etc that might be in there.
