This year my containers are 2 liters (only used about 50 of those) and Starbucks clear cups with dome lids. I bought a box of 500 cups and done lids from my local starbucks. Cost me less than $50, which make them les than .10 each. I have already done almost 350 of those and 120 4" pots (no lids) to go in a cold frame. Altogether I now have over 500 containers done. Yes they are sort of small but they have plenty of top room I think and I put quite a bit of seeds in each one depending on the seed type. I am a little scared to see how many plants I have this spring, but then I don't know that all will germinate. Some were old and received in trades. I will have plenty to give away though. I have family, friends and coworkers I plan to share with.

Here are some of my containers when I had about 300 total. Most of my 2-liters are in a storage room in the dark because they have poppies in them that like to germinate in the dark... So I don't have pics of them.
