I will start my WS at the end of Jan or beginning of FEB here. I have tried zip locks, but have had marginal luck with them. I like the yogurt cups that have clear bubble top lids the best. I will have to take pix of them when I start. I have used milk jugs but have not had luck with any one thing as well as the water bottles that I cut like a Pez dispenser and box tape shut. I have put some in oat meal containers too since the card board eventually degrades and the plastic lid keeps in warmth. I also love to use Ice cream cartons so I don't have to transplant a lot of fragile seedlings. I just put a few in and dig the hole in my bed, where I want them, Take the lid off and punch out the middle, keeping the ring and put plastic over it and push the ring down over it. That works if I use stronger semi transparent plastic. If I get a lot of rain in tends to weigh it down and drown the plants so I have better luck with them after the rainy season. I love to use them then. The plant can get really big and you never disturb the roots, the wax in the cardboard helps keep in the water too. I use gel crystals in there too. The desert gets hot and can give a heat wave any time of the year. It could snow one day and the next day it is 80 degrees.
