I agree!
No tool is more needed for seedlings, inserts, 6-packs or small pots in a tray than the turkey baster! I can;t seem to stop from over-watering, but the baster helps the roots keep their heads above water.
And I always squirt it out into a big tin can or quart tub so I can settle the solids before poiring it down drain. Paying the plumber taught me that! Actually, now I just fling that mud from my back deck.
Maybe people who have pots on saucers can also use the baster to keep salts from building up in the saucer and the soil - I wouldn't know.
Some day I may buy or build a small wet-dry-vac, but until then:
suck-squirt!
suck-squirt!

suck-squirt!
