I was messing around today getting my seed containers ready and came up with something real simple, I cant believe I havnt thought of it before because of how many of these I have made. Its kinda like one of them hit your self in the head after you think about it thought. But also is really no big deal ether and some of you guys might already do it, but might help someone out there if your out of duct tape,lol!!

Here is my invention,I should make millions off this......
Instead of using duct tape for the slit you make down one side of your seedling pot for that easy pull the tape off and let your plant fall nice and neat in the hole.
Instead you can do it the cheaper way and save about 2 cents maybe even 3 cents a year!!!!!, take your seedling pot you already cut down the side and take that cut part and join it back together taking just a regular paper stapler and staple the cut part back together.This holds together great and all you need is just three staples,one at top,one at the middle and you guessed it one on the bottom, oh and yes, 1,2,3 staples is all you use!,,,,so save and tree,,,wait, duct tape made from a tree?, any way, save your duct tape for better things like car troubles ect ect,



LOL!!

I would also like to thank everyone who has supported me in this long project and a big thank you goes out to my family and also my uncle John, Ted,Ralph,,,,,,,,,

What stapler did you used? Desktop or electric? What size of staples 1/4 or 3/8, coppered or galvanized? How can I prevent hurting my fingers?
Come on Brooks, go into details.....

As many times as I've stapled my fingers (once is enough!), I'll stick to tape! Whoa! Did ya get that: Stick to tape! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Unintentional even.
Does anybody have "The Big Duct Tape Book"? Quite the intense read, deep you might say, for the intelectual types only! LOL!
Now, not to compete with your business, I think I may just weld together some trash cans, sells for 50$. AleX Noel.
