The plastic packaging used by Costco and others for organic apples are excellent seed germinating units. Most of them hold a dozen apples or 12 spaces to germinate seeds in with a roof...open top the containers can bed 24 spaces. When the plants get big and strong enough you can open the lid and plant the other side...and so on.
