Pots for my new seedlings

The girls at work were going to throw out loads of dog/cat food measuring pots - some small some largish - so i'll drill holes in the bottom and use them as pots for my seedlings. They are pretty sturdy!

I used to get people at my last job to give me the plastic cups out of the drinks machines - a wash and a hole in the bottom and they lasted me 3 years of raising seedlings - nice and deep too for those roots.

I've used a lot of yoghurt pots for seedlings, too - and some even for houseplants (the plain white ones - don't like to advertise the yoghurt on my windowsill all year round!). And of course, loads of those very useful toilet rolls...

Loo rolls - excellent idea - once Josh has designed them!

We don't buy newspapers - get our news off the internet and radio. And I have so many pots now I really don't need anymore!
