Seed starting container from water bottle!

I probably go through two water bottles a day and I was just throwing them away till now! Take the plastic bottle and cut it in app 1/2 then screw the cap back on the one half bottle and put it inside the other half so it is a inch or two from the bottom! When you use it drill a hole in the cap so you can have water in the bottom of the container and you can see the water level! I even slice the sides of the bottom container about a inch so the top bottle fits snug inside the bottom container!The other option is to make two containers out of one bottle. You can plant one plant or start a half dozen seeds and see the roots as they grow toward the bottom! You can stand 20 of these in a small box and even sell plants in them! The light passes through the plastic and warms the soil some! Any other ideas on this?

This idea was recently presented in another thread by froggy:
