Plant flower pots and trays for seedlings

In most cases you don't want to sow your seeds in a tray because by the time they are ready to transplant all the roots have knotted together.

Obviously save any flower pots you can get your hands on but there never seem to be enough small ones.

The cardboard rolls from toilet paper or kitchen roll or wrapping paper trimmed to length, stood in a plastic box and packed with compost are ideal planters as they just rot away when transferred to the vegetable garden.

Alternatively, next time you're at childrens party or other social event just collect up a stack of used small plastic cups. Punch a couple of holes in each as you need them and they make perfect flower pots and you might get 2 uses from each.
