Take a look at this gizmo for making your own planting "Pellets".

You just cut some newspaper or any type of rapidly decomposing paper around the plunger, push it into the wooden mold and you have a very nice small "pot" to fill with your gardening dirt mix. We use ours all the time.
Also, here's one more gardening gizmo that I really like. Its a small plastic shovel shaped seed planter with a "clicker" that you turn with your finger while holding the planter over your seed hole or dirt. A couple clicks and the loaded seed travels down the spout and pops out the end. Much more dependable than trying to shake seeds, one at a time, out of a packet or your fingers. The trick is to just hold the planter in your hand and don't let it touch your other hand or the side of the tray. It has to "jiggle" for it to work.

I've used it for both large and tiny seeds, works great.

Thanks! I’ll check that out!
I’m already stockpiling newspaper for the next step up for my seedlings for next season; I make paper pots from newspaper for the next step AFTER the Jiffy Pellets get my seedlings started.
My life is now a DREAM when it comes to starting plants from seed. No dirt in the house.
