No I meant just to hold it together so it doesn't constantly collapse back into
the glass and sink. I didn't mean very tight just enough to help hold it up out
of the water. Plus the screw would give more support to the toothpicks.Breaking
in half will help it sprout but I don't think it will sprout if its fully
submerged underwater.
Thats why I like the pot thing so far, If it sprouts the seed won't go anywhere
or drown, It may or may not sprout but I don't have to constantly babysit it
and fix it 5 times a day either. Just gonna take a few weeks to tell if it
works.

Not all toothpicks are created equally. Y'all need to get the square
in the middle rounded on the ends heavy duty toothpicks.. they don't
break easily, and they'll hold up a pretty big pit, and won't break
under insertion unless that pit has dried too long..in which case,
poke through the hard surface with the ice pick or finishing nail or
something. ;-)
