The little recycled boxes did the trick! I was able to plant my seedlings where I wanted them. I could see the sow bugs lining up for dinner however so I put toothpicks around them like a fence and plastic cups with the bottom opened up to protect them till they were bigger. I'm going to have lovely sunflowers!

These recycled boxes did the trick! I wanted to grow sunflowers and knew they would prefer being direct sown. I wasn't sure of placement so these boxes gave me the best of both options. I planted 4 different kinds of seeds and they all sprouted. I have now planted them in the ground. I could see the sow bugs lining up to eat them so I put little "fences' of toothpicks around them to deter their path. So far the sunflowers are winning! :-) It's going to be a beautiful show this summer!

Each year we used these, mold started to take over the soil and the containers. I figured it was operator error until this year and side by side since we were on our last box of the middle size, we did these and some plastic pots. Only one side once again went moldy, the paper pots. They are a fantastic idea, and the features they thought of are great. Maybe I got a bad batch? But I won't be chancing it next year.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and share your feedback. We always want our gardening community to have the best possible experience, so we appreciate you bringing this to our attention!
It is actually quite common for biodegradable cardboard pots to develop a bit of surface mold, but when it only happens on one single side, it is almost always a sign of a localized airflow issue. Because cardboard naturally absorbs and holds moisture from the soil, it relies on steady surrounding air circulation to dry out evenly between waterings. If a pot is pushed directly up against a wall, a window sill, another plant tray, or sits in a stagnant corner, that hidden side traps moisture. Without enough air flowing around it, that one specific side creates the perfect, damp microclimate for harmless surface mold spores to wake up.
A great way to prevent this going forward is to ensure there is a small gap of space all the way around each pot, or to give the pots a gentle quarter-turn every few days so all sides get equal exposure to fresh air.
Thank you again for your review, and please let us know if you have any other questions about your setup. Keep on growing 🌻️

Please provide these in larger quantities (like packs of 20). It seems a waste to have only a few in each box.

Hard to work with but easy to store. How do you keep these things watered when the paper immediately threatens to fall apart?
