Recruiter....yes, I think I did that same math and thought it was a good deal. I did the costco cups for years, but found them cheaper at restockit.com. their cups aren't as sturdy as the costco ones, but they are tough enough to hold seedlings for 3+ months. I use a lonnnnnnnnng drill bit to put the holes in...saves a lot of time.

cole...I like the idea of dunking the flats in a container of water...I think this would be great especially when the plants are small and watering from a can tends to push them down to the soil. I was wondering about when/how to cut them apart. I was hoping they would tear apart easily especially after a month or so of being moved around and in the sun.

SIP...got your PM...I think the cost of shipping would make those too expensive. I sell plants individually, not in the 6 packs. The stuff I sell is the rare/specialty type of heirlooms and most of my customers want one or two plants of each variety.
