martyR.....Instead of using bottles, use plastic shoe boxes (cheap from Wal-Mart) filled with moist potting soil. Comes with cover. Much easier to remove the seedlings. Punch (melt) holes for drainage with a hot nail. Soil will remain moist all winter when covered and placed in bin to protect agains animals. Or place in unheated shed or garage.

1] Seed of perennials winter 2010 North side of my house. (before I got addicted to doing iris seeds) holds several individual seedling flats.
2] Arabis & Aubrieta in container that was placed in bin above.
3] Aubrieta planted in 6-pack after sprouting.
