Haven't used the cardboard, but have used the foam egg cartons. We cut off
the lid and use it as a tray for the bottom half. We then punch holes in each
of the dozen compartments with a sharp pencil and fill the compartments with
seed starter mix. We put wood strips in the part we use as the tray to keep
the part with the seeds in it about 1/4" off the bottom for drainage.
Definitely use foam cartons, the cardboard variety has a distinct tendency to disintegrate.
