1 gallon pots to start seeds? Why such a large container?
That size pot would never work for me as I have numerous crosses I want to start seeds from. I just use cups. I usually start a 100 or so seeds on my south window sill.

I do have a question about the gnats .... if you did bottom watering after the initial watering, would that deter gnats? I place all my cups into a plastic shoe box bin and could bottom water them instead of top watering.
