Just a point!

How do you get the seedlings out?

With difficulty I would have thought, unless there is still a bit of the roman candle still in it. ::)

Couldn't resist that! ;D

Tee Gee,

you just leave them in the ground to rot away....

I do it like that with toilet roll inserts and sunflowers etc...

Fireworks are full of heavy metals. That's what makes the pretty colors. So I would say: don't use for either food or insects.

I agree with Martin, do not use old firework outers.
