Some of us can't avoid using plastic no matter how hard we try, but to know that we can use that plastic and recycle it for something more useful sure does make me feel better.
Cutting plastic bottles, size really depends on what you are wanting to plant, down the middle as the picture shows. My only suggestion is to remove the bottle tops off, and replace it with a small piece of paper towel of toilet paper for better draining. The water that collects at the bottom will evaporate back into the plant and keep it nice and watered.
Fill your bottles with dirt, preferably something with organic nutrients, you can buy fertilizer at any home and garden place, and even WalMart. After you have done so, I suggest you watering your soil. If you place you seed in there before watering, the seed may wash down too deep to germinate. Place your seed in the center of the bottle where you have filled with dirt and cover as much as it requires per instructions. Plants vary in preference of coverage. You can place your ready seedlings anywhere inside your home, unless it is spring and all the dangers of frost have passed. While your seeds are germinating they do not need direct sunlight, just make sure to water as needed.
