Thanks. That's what I normally use but was curious if there was something maybe better.
Yes, I cut a couple thin slits in the bottom edge of the solo dirt cups with sissors and put it in another solo for drainage or in a square solo cup to keep it higher for drainage. I start with this in mini solo shot glasses doubled when germinating many plants to save space vs a tray and use the solo cup shot glass to push into the soil to make a perfect foot print to put in the standard solo cup dirt. Plus, wetting the indoor soil and microwaving to kill aphid and white fly eggs is less dirt to sterilize in a bowl in the microwave for shot sized glasses. Then, sterilize more dirt later for the standard cups when roots show in shot glass slits in February for an early hardening process. I'm surprised how many pest eggs are in bags of store bought soil and I had to turn the individual regular solo cups upside down to rinse aphid and eggs off the stems and from the underside of leaves you may never see unless you look for them. That's why I really like the Aerogardens with no soil for pest issues for Herbs, lettuces, tomatoes and peppers. I just like solo cups for dirt because if a lot of roots come through just cut the rest of the bottom at the slits and push em out. Throw the plastic cups in the recycle and save what you can for the next season to soak in vinegar to kill bacteria.
Great idea . I've tried all sorts of things , but never thought golf balls . I have 3 of the Harvest gardens . Need to get them fired up .
