Hello, I am trying wintersowing for the first time this year. I've been looking through all the posts here to learn how to do it (thanks for all the great info everybody!) But I have a question that I can't find an answer to - once your seedlings are up and you're ready to transplant, how do you get them out of the container? It's so deep (I'm using mostly soda bottles, filled with 6" soil), it seems like it will be hard to get the soil out in one piece. Do you use a really long knife or spatula and cut out sections? Or do you need to cut away the container, then divide into hunks to plant? If so, what do you use to cut it? (I used a heated knife to make the containers originally, but I don't see how that would work with the seedlings already in there...)
I am not nearly at this stage yet - just getting anxious about it in advance! :-)
