[quote="ViolaAnn"]I guess the thing we should really be talking about is the (re)use of of yogurt cups to start seeds.


Guys, I use those little paper Dixie bathroom cups to start seeds in, not the waxed ones, but the really small paper ones that are not waxed. You can write on them with a sharpie pen and label them as to what you planted in them. Then when your plant is ready to transplant, you can plant the whole cup, it will break down easily, as it was not waxed and it softens easily when exposed to a lot of constant moisture, so by planting in moist soil, it will just break down. Works well for me, and no plant transplant shock.
