Last year I bought a mini indoor greenhouse to help the process. It didn't go so well. I've waited a little later this year so that it'll be plenty warm for the plants (and the gardener.) My favorite recyclable pot? The cow-poo pots. I think those are brilliant. But rather expensive. So my second favorite is the newspaper pots. There's a device in seed catalogs that helps you make the newspaper pots, but I've found a straight sided glass works pretty well. Now I'm all excited about planting again and it's supposed to be a beautiful weekend...garden time! I too love starting my own seeds. Last year I bought a mini indoor greenhouse to help the process.

The rigid sides will not collapse like wet newspaper, and you would never have to worry about cutting the bottom off when transplanting! Thanks for the tip! What a great idea!

I save these up all year round, then cut them into about 2 inch pieces & fill with potting soil. They work as well or better than the little pots you buy at the store.
