You are welcome! Patrix from France posted a solution that doesn't even use any pots at all. You might also consider his old traditional method that is hundreds of years old. I must say I was impressed by the success showed in his pics.

Not good for selling seedlings, but certainly an option for growing yourself.

Best price, quality and service I have found on the West Coast. http://www.mcconkeyco.com/

That's a good mention. McConkey is a lot like Hummert, which is in Missouri. I would definitely order from McConkey if I lived on the West Coast. Shipping is cheaper when you order from someone closer.

Reasonable prices and located near enough that I can drive to pick up large orders. As noted above, shipping is the issue, if you can keep it close, then best to do so.

I know this is out of date, but I thought I might add my 2 cents. I got oodles of pots trays and flats from a local nursery for free! They had a recycle bin there for them and I just went in and asked if I could have some. They said take all you want. You may want to check with some of your local nursery's , You just might get lucky like I did. Stock up now.

I thought I got a good deal with coordinated 4" pots and trays here. If I am a sucker, I'd appreciate knowing it.

They have Agways in texas and they sale the seed flats for $1.00. I also like there bulk seeds like sugar peas by the 8 ounce container!

I have purchased from Harris Seeds several times and they have been the least expensive when cost plus shipping is figured. If you can pick up supplies without shipping the pots may be cheaper. For me Harris is cheapest with very good quality.

Check to see if your local Lowes has a 'loaner' bin for trays and those black pots. Ours does. It's run on the honor system - borrow what you need and please return when done so others can use them.

Rural King has cheap trays (dollar and change each and a good size). They are only in certain parts of the USA though - Florida just got its first two stores. If you have one, check out their prices. Better than Walmart in most cases. They also ship. http://www.ruralking.com/

This year greenhouse megestore mentioned by others has been the best priced supplier for me.
