I purchased a 100 large plastic beverage cups to pot up my seedlings in. They are much less expensive than regular pots. The cups are also deeper, allowing a longer time for the root system to fill them up.

I\'m trying two methods to get drainage holes. The first method I tried was using a soldering iron and melting the holes...whew that was stinky. That\'s an outside job on a warm and slightly breezy day. I got 3 whole cups done.

Drilling holes is the next method I\'m trying and will see if that works any better.
