| I'm trying yogurt cups for some of my winter sowing. They are the kind that Costco's yogurt comes in.

So far they are working really well. Can't wait to see what happens come spring :) |

| i used them last year. I had yogurt cups on bottom and the clear plastic cups that peaches or fruit cocktail comes in for the top. They fit together perfectly so I just duct taped them. |

| I've used yogurt cups for some of the annuals and veggies in the Spring. They are usually the last seeds I sow - the ones that require the warmest temps to germinate. I put them into a plastic box (actually an old refrigerator drawer) and place it up against the foundation on the south side of the house - the warmest spot in the Spring. Easier to water that way too - I can fill the box with water. One drawback - the yogurt cups are small and dry out quickly - so last year I started using Cup-O-Noodles cups, instead of yogurt cups, which are a little bigger and hold more soil. These containers have tomatoes, basil, parsley, and Yvonne's salvia -

| I used them a few years back when they still came with the clear plastic lids. Nice size & convenient, but I had quite a problem with them drying out, so you may have to water more often than with some other containers. |
