Hi Hekkup,

I think you are right ...
Although I am in an almost naturally 'radiant zone' I'd like to think further than service to self ...
One of the ideas to get more food growing is by sharing ! I want to start lots of seedlings and hand them out after a short kind
of speech about how to grow food on primary schools ...

It is actually very efficient because I am reducing waste as well (see below).
And here's a tip for Bilderburger w/cheese (and others):

You can take the 'egg carrying cartons' (sorry don't know the right word for this) as base for sprouting the seedlings.
Also for when they grow bigger you can use all kinds of used cans. Make sure you punch or drill a few holes in the bottom
to allow excess water to drain.
If you use glass pots be aware not to drown your plants (can't drill holes).

You can use the glass pots and lids to store and sort your seeds.
When I have time this week I'll try to make some pictures to show you some examples.

Cheers
