Carefully poke a hole or 2 in the bottom, a drill with narrow bit usually works well, and use the pots for starting up seedlings that don't like transplanting. Once the seedling (eg cuke, melon, etc) is large enough, the whole root mass can be carefully tipped out or the plastic cut open, and the root moved into a larger pot (or outside).

Almost forgot - cut off the upper narrow part to leave the useable 'pot'.

I would have said the same, be careful you dont end up with less fingers though  :blink:

Hi all
I use the pots with snap-on lids for storeing my left-over seeds  :happy: stick some masking tape around the pot or on the lid to record the contents and date  8)
As is the gardener, so is the garden

The small 'bottle' form ones that you get such as y*k*lt in:  heat a skewer and use it to melt a bunch of holes around the bottom half of each one (lots of holes - real colander style).  Bury one three quarters deep into each of the black cut flowers pots alongside the tom, courgette, pepper or whatever and use it as a watering point.  Can use it too as a mechanism for dropping in a small amount of sheep 'currants' (or a teaspoonful of stuff like m*racle gr*) to sit there and be gradually picked up and taken down by the watering process.
