I need more containers!!!

17 years ago

you all created a WS addict! I need more jugs, 2liters, any kind of containers..... I want to plant more seeds.... I just can't stop!

I needed to share that with people who might understand. My hubby thinks I am crazy.....oh well you probably do too!

I am ready to plant in a bunch of clear plastic cups I have w/Ziploc baggies! that is all I have left unless I dump a gallon of milk or a 2 liter of Pepsi down the drain!

    My hubby quit drinking soda about a couple of months ago, and I was in that same situation. I posted a request for 2L bottles in my church's newsletter, and now there are two or three families bringing them in each week. Problem solved!

    Karen and all,
    Costco sells containers of cookies, (good to have with all the extra milk needed to drink to get the containers) that are great for winter sowing, also the mixed green salad containers are perfect for winter sowing also.

    Lasagna pans work really well too. If they're too large, divide them into smaller compartments using cardboard. Just be sure to plant varieties that will germinate at about the same temperature and duration.

    Water bottles will work with plastic bags too. Almost anyone who works in an office would probably be able to help you there.

    Make newspaper pots and put them in large zip loc bags. The used pots go into compost and the bags can be reused over and over.

    For lots of variety, small amounts, styrofoam cups, which I cover with a sandwich baggie (corners snipped off for transpiration), placed in a foil baking or lasagna pan that has drainage holes punched in it, to keep them all together. The baking pans (smaller than lasagna) I got at the dollar store last week hold 10 large cups each
