For me to get started with the plants I want to set out at the end
of March . Last year and the year before I tried those peat disc
things (wet 'em and they expand into a little barrel shape) with
absolutely dismal results . This year I'm going to try something
different , using potting soil or starter mix .
I have a decent plastic tray but I need to divide it into
compartments . I was considering shoebox-type cardboard , or maybe
some plexiglass strips . Or I could just go buy some small plastic
cups and put holes in the bottom for drainage .
How do y'all start your sets ? I'll be doing tomatoes , peppers ,
marigolds , and maybe some zucchini and cantalopes . I usually do
the stuff with bigger seeds directly to the ground ...


These are what I usually use for starting seeds. I start seeds in the
72 cell ones and then transplant into the 36 cell ones. Right now I
have 5 of the 72 cell ones almost full. I need to check my supply of
36s.

Those are really nice trays , but I'm looking for a cheaper alternative .
The clear plastic cups that sell for like a buck a hundred are more where
I'm looking . Cardboard and plex I already have , just need to cut it into
strips and notch it for interlocks .
