I have uses qt. sizes water bottles...cut them in half..sow seeds--put top back on.
Leave top open.

--Do you locate your containers in a somewhat sheltered, protected location?
like against the wall of your house or shed or such?
--Do you throw some leaves over them to protect them from high winds and frost?

I also use some nursery trays in lieu of pots for cuttings. The trays 4" annuals come in
is a tray of "pots" in its own right. No re-potting needed. Cut them apart to share.

--Yogurt containers work well too. (No pic)
2--plastic bathroom cups
3--High-domed produce "clamshell" containers
4--Venus Flytrap containers--great for rooting cuttings
5--Grower plug trays
