You know I start alot of seeds in plastic water bottles, invert them into the ground, never disturb the roots, but here is the seed sprout plastic cup with bottom cut out of the vines by my back door.. you can see both the plastiv water bottle stuck into the ground, Like i did last year, and the plastic cup as well.. I do believe having other smaller plants around the vines seem to help with keeping the roots cool, and helps to drink up excess water.. styrofoam is good insulation, I just don't use them because we drink bottled water.. if I did use them, I have access to them at work ( recycle bins) and as far as mold goes, if the seeds on anything isn't totally dry, you are gonna get mold if they are bagged up in plastic.. I wrap in newspaper and tie the packagewith yarn, marked what is in them on the outside on a long marker , and store OUTSIDE in a net tote from dollar store, under the patio table.. I learned my lesson last year.. I had mold,, growing things in baggies, and all sorts of unidentified things.. *sigh*
