Another nice thing about jugs is all that headroom. In case of frost I can still flip the top back onto the jug as a frost cover. If you use shallow containers there isn't enough headroom to do that.

That blob of marigolds above was pretty tall, the plants already in bud when I planted them out. Here's a picture of the blob right-side-up. I just dump it into a flat and cut into chunks with a knife and plant the hunks. A gallon can be cut into a lot of little chunks, as small as about an inch square.

Normally I'd water a jug before doing that. I must have been in a real hurry because it look dry!
