Plastic coffee and creamer containers make good pots to plant seeds in.

That's great Blue, Makes me reflect on multiple things from missed opportunity's towards making few extra dollars to what I'm using coffee containers for now. Right now I'm using it for a paint bucket, while painting with a brush & a Tide Pod container I store my extra weed wacker fuel lines, air filter's in, Also I couldn't find any place to return my 5 gallon water bottle in for a refund, It had an handle on the side. So I cut it in half right under, bottom part of the shoulder to store my painting hand tools & caulking guns in, That was okay bc I can see through the container but I saved the top piece in case I ever needed a large funnel, That's where you would likely know if that would be helpful or not with anything that had to do with gardening. Since I've seen your post here, I'll be better prepared - I'm going save few more coffee containers bc I never know what I might run across in the field, so it be very useful for me if I needed to transplant a small plant that I had found or needed to transplant & then transplant it again with in few weeks or so

Great idea on the 5 gallon water container, Ziggy. Repurposing those plastic containers helps keep them out of the landfills.
