Re: Help!!! Information on starting seedlings

Hi rfdillon,

Sorry I can't help too much, but I also had a similar question. I have been 
saving small coffee cans for months now, and have lots of them. I was going to 
use them to start seedlings. Any suggestions on yes or no to use them? Should I 
cut them off halfway so I don't have to use so much planting material? Should I 
punch holes in the bottom and sit them in a pan of water? I won't be using 
growlights since I live in So. Calif. I previously have planted seeds directly 
in my garden, but I'm sick of the cutworms killing my new sprouts. This spring 
I'm planning on putting my seedlings under a wooden frame covered in plastic 
(only to keep the cats and dogs out, and to give a little protection from cold 
nights). Anybody see anything I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Shawn
