Hello water friends, i think about using these containers formerly filled with flavour, now empt, for some Kraftky Microgreensor typical kitchen herbs.

My base idea would be to fill them with leca or similar before planting, maybe 3d print a spacer for the bottom? Open for ideas, maybe someone already uses these?

If you flip it upside down, placing soil in the lid with the container resting on top, you can make a mini terrarium like setup for micro greens. Then you can drill wholes in the lid to allow for draining and place it on a saucer. (I have done this for a couple containers and it works)
