Seedpicker I like those black take out containers too!

Some TV dinner containers are a decent shape too.

Great thread by the way.

I noticed a giant muffin container from the grocery that has a clear lid looked like a fine seed starter. I retrieved it from the trash at work.

I use hawaiian punch jugs as cloches with bottoms cut off.
Or left intact I fill them with water for weights to hold things from blowing away outside.- Like the tarps covering my compost heap. The handle is handy. Plus if something needs a drink. Wala! Sunny D jugs are nice for that too.

I made a wall -o waters by duct tapping water filled 2L pop containers in a circle shape. Not that I found it helped my tomatoes to grow faster....


I got an old trampoline for 1$. It makes an excellent ground cover between plantings for weed and mud reduction. Here's a pic of it.
