Thanks for posting that, Jack. I'd never heard of them before; they sound awesome! Would you recommend the 1" or the 1.25"?

I got quite a few seeds stuck in starting pots today, but have lots more to go and this sounds perfect.
It depends on what you are starting. The small size is OK for lettuce and small seeds, for cucumbers and such the big is best. Generally is use the larger size, and I have, on occasion, planted two seedlings in a 1.25" cube and cut it in half. Kind of two for one. :p

Thank you Sir! I have some various odds and ends but mostly tomatoes...lots and lots of those :) Think I'll just go ahead and get the larger ones. "Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it" is my motto :)

Agreed, I only buy the large cubes myself.

Generally I let the seedlings get four or so leaves before I plant them.

Sounds good. That also sounds like a good deal.
