When I sow my leeks I use those polystyrene boxes that Greengrocers get their Brocolli delivered in.
They just chuck 'em away so they'll give you them for free.
They're deep sided so you get a good amount of compost in them and as a result good strong plants ready for planting out,and the polystyrene helps to keep the warmth in at night.
Just sow,then thin out and you don't need to faff about pricking out etc,just keep them growing 'till you replant outside.
They come in all sizes 12"x18" to 2ftx2ft.and are handy for all sorts of other stuff as they have a lid on too.
