I wasn't sure where to post this so Mods please move if needed.
I know many folk use small plastic bottles as cloches, watering funnels & cane toppers but I wanted to try something a little different & came up with this.
Pic 1: I cut the bottom third off to use as the pot leaving 2 thirds for the lid. drainage holes were put in the pot.
Pic 2: I then cut steps out of the lid so it had tabs on each corner.
Pic 3: The lid tabs are then placed on the outside of the pot giving a snug fit.
My theory is that once there is signs of germination, the cap can be unscrewed.
When the seedlings are established, the lid can be removed leaving you with a handy little pot of seedlings to grow on until ready for transplanting. Once transplanted, simply wash the pot & start again. I know a few grapes work with children & maybe could be a little project for them.

...... I am hoping that once I remove the lid it will remind me to start another bottle of the same seed....................
