I just set them close and touching in a box and when it's time to plant push them out...they are really nice to use. I don’t even fold and make a bottom on mine.

Do you have to buy a certain brand to be sure there were no chemicals added? Or did you mean to say "recycled." Are we sure that TP rolls are biodegradable?

I used it and it's working GREAT! Hubby looked at me a little strange though whenever I told him a few weeks ago that we need to start saving all of our t.p. rolls! Haha, they work perfectly and I don't have to spend a dime on pots at the store. :purpleflower: Wanted to let you know that I linked to you here in my pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/skyrocketstar/3513007417/ And also here with another picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/skyrocketstar/3513815732/ Thanks so much for this awesome idea.

SAVE, what a great idea. I have used them camping with the lint and some pariffin wax, but not in the garden. Thanks Wow, I just dug out a TP roll and made two of these, how easy was that.

Keep the seed trays away from drafts and as warm as possible. Even setting stuff around the seed trays will help. When I wrote this post, I was still living in the old farmhouse and I had seeds initially setting out in a cold cellar porch. You can cover them with plastic wrap when they're just starting, and put them as far away as possible (or sheltered however you can) from drafts and they will still do all right!

I get a decent amount of light during the day through my windows, but like an old house the windows are seriously drafty and won't warm up until way past a good starting time... do you think that this is a big deal or what do you suggest?

Will save a lot of effort, and put those silly rolls to good use. Somebody suggested the dryer lint in a tp roll as kindling. Another use for it is for bird nests. Simply collect the lint in a mesh vegetable bag and hang that somewhere that the birds can get to it in the Spring. They will remove what they want to put in their nests. Terrific idea!
