Sorry, I just don't see how this would work -- to cut a slit in the straw and place it over a tender seedling would be really time consuming and I think it would be all too likely to injure the seedling. If you just planted within the straw, what happens as the plant grows bigger? No way to pull it straight off without stripping the leaves, and my peppers and tomatoes develop stems that would be too large to stay in the straw indefinitely, so removing it would require major surgery (during which I'm pretty sure I would lose most of my patients, if not patience!)
Unless there is some other way of doing it that i am just not understanding...
