Dollar store cupcakes

slugworth · March 16, 2019

The local dollar tree store sells plastic trays for bringing cupcakes to parties.
The trays have indentations for 9 cupcakes and I used the paper cups that
separate foil cups that get tossed anyway, so those were free.
I keep the lid on until the plants hit it.
This batch is bloody butcher tomato about 4 seeds per cup.
The top locks down with the 4 latches so you can carry it to and fro accident free.

Great idea. I'm trying to think of something thin to up-cycle to place on the bottom for drainage for the "cupcakes".

Since the containers are only $1,I could probably drill holes under the "cupcakes"
then mate 2 bottoms together to collect the drips.

They also sell a plastic tray for deviled eggs that holds 1 dozen egg sized spaces for dirt.
I prefer the cupcakes but a round plastic like that is also a good option to have,like being stack-able until the seeds sprout.
