Wal Mart doesnt have peat pots this year!

[sparkles2307]

Um yeah living in the limited backwoods podunk crapville that we do our only source of anything is wal mart cause all the good mom and pop stores and local feed stores went out of business long ago.... and walmart isnt carrying peat pots this spring! How am I supposed to start my seeds!? they dont have anything except a jiffy mini greenhouse and I dont like those...

Wow... our wally world had them! In fact, they have clearanced them out already! :/

Just get some flats or containers or leftover cellpaks or small pots from last year. If you don't have any, ask friends and relatives who garden, or post a note on the church bulletin board or something like that. Yogurt containers (the small ones) work especially well, once a couple drainage holes are poked in the bottom.

Or make newspaper pots. There are directions all over the web, all you need is a small can (like tomato-paste size) and some newspaper.

Buy a sack of seed-starting medium, which your Walmart almost certainly DOES have, and there ya go

Ours sold out as fast as they could put them on the shelf.

Try toilet paper rolls cut in half stuffed with seed starter. Always works for me. And for some reason I always have tp rolls.

I bought enough for a couple hundred plants this year back in FEBRUARY!!! Because they always run out so early!

Try this or something like it for supplies: http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/...oducts/1109/?gclid=CIPzuYbiiKECFRJLbQodPhMfUg

I use milk jugs soda bottles or anything like that, cut in half and voila! a humidity dome seed pot combo that cost me... nothing! my wally world didn't have peat pots either... the feed store did though...

Great tip, melodylee! ... and WELCOME to TEG!! ..

I reuse my cell packs and flats ... kind of a pain to wash them and store them, but good to recycle if you can...

Even though we go through only 1 roll/week at home, and 1 roll/every 3 weeks at DH's office, we had loads of 'em, too. These are THE BEST pots I've ever used!! I love how you can rip apart the paper when it's time to plant MUCH EASIER than with peat. No guilt, too!
I've used paper towel rolls, too--I cut 3/roll, and they're about the same size as a tp roll.
