I did actually experiment with the toilet paper roll thing - I had these plastic containers that lettuce leaves came in - about 6" wide x 9" long x 6" deep. I filled it with the rolls, then added the seed starting mix & seed.

They were adequate for a couple of weeks, but then the cardboard started to show alot of white mold on the outside - they couldn't dry out - & after that, the plants seemed stressed - longer & lankier than others planted in conventional containers.

I won't bother with it again.
