So is there a final verdict ? Those jars are expensive here.

After the fodder experiment while you follow up with a mudder project?

id say the jars work excellent but you can get very creative no need to spend alot of money. we can and all that here so we have mason jars for days. take a trip down to the dollar store and check out the plastic bins for some "flats" instead of the jars. you can also go to ace or farm and fleet type of store and pick up some plastic seedling starter trays(cheap) you can get them with or without holes, an easy thing to do is get get 1 without holes and 1 with holes. without holes on the bottom holes on top it'll act like a strainer and will collect the water drainage. just an example but if you google "diy fodder systems" that'll give you alot of ideas

You don't need canning jars. Save glass jars from your pantry, like jam jars, spaghetti sauce, that kinda stuff.
