Wish I had seen this sooner. I had been using masking tape for
bottoms. Folding closure shown here is better:

I do about 8-10 cuts with scissors in a diagonal direction round the
bottom of my toot rolls and then snip off the points of the cuts and
fold the slashes inwards. I don't bother to interlace the cuts or use
any tape on the bottom at all. I just fold inwards.


I don't even do that . Cut 'em in half , stack 'em in a waterproof
container , fill with soil . By the time the seedlings are ready to
transplant the roots are a solid plug in the bottom . And often coming thru
the sides too !
