This is JH Adriatic which was started about 4 weeks ago in the baggy from Uline. I transplanted it today into this great looking 32 oz clear deli cup. I just received 100 of them from http://www.webstaurantstore.com/ .The cost is a little pricey at $13.49 for 50 cups but they should be reusable for a while. When the roots become visible I plan to place it into a second solid cup/pot.

Nice Mike! I like your cups! I couldn't find large ones, but the 20 oz size seems fine for now. It's very rewarding to see roots and leafy green shoots! I kinda slash my cups up a bit. I put air holes in the top one, and drainage in the bottom with slashes on the sides. Suzi __________________ Zone 9b, Southern California.

Mike, You can reuse the cups many times, and even if they get side cracks, they are still OK. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

Anthony, this is all the information on the item number: Fabri-Kal Alur RD32 32 oz. Clear PET Plastic Round Deli Container 50 / Pack (999RD32) Suzi, I just used a drill with 1/8" bit through 4 cups at the time and put about 10 holes in the bottom and top cup Thanks Jon, these are pretty sturdy cups so they should last a while.
