Plastic pots?

puzzley · April 15, 2010

For a number of years I've used 5" peat pots when I potted up my tomato seedlings. However, this year, my ambition and desire to try new varieties is straining the capacity of my light tables. My wife has a number of 4" plastic pots that fit into plastic holders, and if I use these, I can increase the plants on the table by about 20%. However, I've never used plastic pots, and am unfamiliar with them for seedling tomatoes. I know a number of you use plastic cups and such, so I was wondering if you had any advice, suggestions, or things to watch for when using plastic.

Thanks, Puzz
