I'm using egg cartons which are working great but I need to try making some of these too!!
I tried egg cartons one year but the plant roots really struggled to break through the bottom, and my plants were pretty stunted.
Maybe I’ll try paper cartons next time :p
Seriously though, is that not a problem for you? Kinda wonder what you do differently.
This is my first time growing from seed and I haven't transplanted yet, but my friend has been using them successfully 🤷🏻♂️ she's the reason I'm doing it that way (and me having no money lol)
It may depend how sturdy your brand of cardboard packaged eggs are I guess
