I use mine for potting up some of my smaller plants. Occasionally I fill with soilless mix to start a group of plants and prick them out with my paring knife.

This year, I am primarily using them for potting up my tomatoes before moving up to drinking size cups so that I can bury the stem more on the move up to the drinking cup. Unfortunately I did not start saving the yogurt cups soon enough and had to put some of my tomatoes directly into drinking cups when they germinated. Oh well, I'll have a great supply before starting next year.

I saved several yogurt cups to plant in also. This year my I got some old ( and I do mean OLD, can we say 1970ish) dixie cups still in the box from my aunt. I used them to start my seeds in. I'm hoping they don't fall apart. My attempt at recycling might bite me in the behind.

I use dixie cups as well. They hold up well. Don';t know if age might affect it.

I reuse yogurt cups and sour cream and cottage containers for my plants. I start tomato seeds for garden club plant sales and plant 25 or so of each variety in 1 pint sour cream containers then repot when a couple of inches tall. That way I can have 10 containers - 250 plants started in a small space. I pulled out a dozen mums over the weekend and have them in quart cottage cheese containers to be replanted later.
