Long toms

Used tree tubes and rolled 'blueprint' Mylar sheets work well too. The
rolled sheets (with tape) make repotting a snap. Some people just fill a
rectangular recycling bin (with drainage holes) with rolled mylars and don't
bother with bottoms.

Hi,
My idea for a pot for growing seedling bulbs would be
2 inches square, 6 inches high
Such dimensions are likely to fall over, so it would have an
interlocking design to allow pots to support one another.
It would have legs, so that the bottom of the pot is well clear of the
bottom of the seed tray - preventing water accumulating.
I'd probably copy that design (can't recall the name) which just has a
cross to support the compost - again promoting free drainage (or maybe
have a lattice bottom).
I do have long toms, for growing clematis in, I can see the attraction
for full size bulbs, but their volume is too big for seedlings.
In the past I cut lengths of 2 inch diameter water pipe to make long pots.
