Collect the cardboard egg containers during the winter and use them to start your seeds indoors in. Cover them with plastic wrap, venting them a bit until the plants start to come up.

The best thing about this tip is that the individual egg cups can be cup apart with a sturdy pair of scissors and the whole thing can be planted, much like a peat pot. This will avoid disturbing tiny seedlings' roots and give your plants a head start.
Don't try it with the styrofoam ones, tho. The plastic won't disintegrate like the paper. (04/09/2007)
