| Bought a lot of seedlings today. Have tons of the plastic containers left over. Many varieties: round, square, 4 plexes and 6 plexes. Typically I direct sow or buy cheap starter seedlings so I don't have any use for these (at least for the foreseeable future). Post for fee on Craigslist? |

| I keep a few for starting seedlings with my own mix. I figure when it gets to about 4-6 " then it's just like the ones from the store, so that kind of container should be OK. Otherwise, I offer them free to others who may need them in my local area. Finally, if no takers, then I recycle them at a place that takes them. For example, Lowes usually will take the pots for recycle. |

| Lowes! They recycle any brand/shape/kind of nursery pot. |

| Well I use them to wintersow or start things indoors....of course LOL! I have gazillions of these....4-packs, 6 packs, 2", 4", seedling trays to carry them in and so on :) Vera |

| I stack the big ones up along the side of the garage, which is out of the way and doesn't mar my view of anything. The smaller ones are rinsed out and stored in a big plastic container inside the garage. I use them for various purposes - winter-sowing, spring sowing, over-wintering plants in the garage (this past winter I had approx. 40 containers of various sizes in the garage), plant swaps or giveaways, plant sales, and when I move from the current house I hope to bring LOTS of plants with me. |
