Propagation: How many seeds/containers are you planning?, 0 by zenpotter

Great spreadsheet.

I use gallon milk jugs and three quart juice jugs. As to how many will I plant it depends on how good I am at restricting myself. I would guess 30 - 40. Unless the seeds are too small to separate I will plant 12 seeds per jug so they don't get too crowded.

Here is last years winter sowing. I tried one pop bottle and whatever I had in that didn't germinate. I can't remember what it was. I also use some large cottage cheese containers, I may use a few this year if I run out of the others.

I am lucky my husband does the cutting, he uses a heavy duty box cutter. If you use a wood burner make sure you are outside or in a very well ventilated room. The fumes from the melting plastic are toxic.
