19 yr old's first grow!

I really like this thread but if you want to be frugal with seedlings. There's nothing wrong with cutting aluminum cans and plastic bottles you find around. As long as it has its shape somewhat, it should be fine. Just boil some hot water and pour over plastic bottles to sterilize.

Make sure the plastic bottle's recycle number is ONE as in 1. Other plastic bottle numbers have different standards and may even leak chemicals if hot water is poured inside. I personally love to use my cans for seedlings and never have problems. The great thing about it is that it's easier to puncture holes on the bottom than it is on plastic cups.
