When I am starting to grow plants indoors, I drill a couple of holes in an empty yogurt or juicy juice container (I cut the tops off) and use them as the pots.
The 100% reclaimed paper egg cartons make great seed starters. When the plants are large enough cut each egg holder apart and plant them into the ground not disturbing the small plant. Talk about recycling.

Tip: Recycled Seedling Containers
Archived on 05/19/2008
I love to start seedlings early, and didn't have anything to put the soil and seeds in to get started so I went to the kitchen and there was my answer! You know the containers that the floor cleaning cloths come in, they are perfect for starting seeds in. You use the container part for the soil and seeds and the cover to place under the container. This works great and you're recycling too.
