It's for hanging plant pots.
similar item on amazon, including the pot itself
I used to use belkin pots buts I haven’t seen my sizes available, they were nice and sturdy. These are the same size– 3.5”x4” but a little flimsier.
For larger plants I use the same brand but 4”x5” and smaller plants in 2.5”x3”.

These are the exact ones I purchased.
"Loose butthole" haha ok you watch too much TV.
Anyway, local nursery in Portland is where I get mine, but anyone selling vegetable starts and that type of thing should have crappy 4 inch pots for sale or even giving them away. I haven't actually had to buy them in years since once you have them they last forever, but I know my local hydro store sells the small ones for 39 or 45 cents...they look like this but a bit bigger. Those ones are 24 cents but you have to buy way too many online to make it worth it.
Yes everyone runs into bumps, you just want to learn from other people's mistakes...even with having hundreds of growers helping you, you will still run into unexpected shit--that's why you want to at least do the easy stuff correctly right away, it will save you time and get you a lot more product in the end, kid! Mistakes in the first couple weeks will fuck your shit up a lot more than mistakes in the last 3 weeks.
I use these. They aren't square but are much cheaper.

Honestly, that price seems pretty high to me. I get 100 2” square pots on amazon for $20.

I got both of them from Amazon! Here’s the round planter and here’s the small square planter.
On amazon, but only one left! https://www.amazon.com/DODXIAOBEUL-Succulents-Drainage-Transplanting-Container/dp/B07WG7GNY7/ref=sr_1_26?keywords=2.5”+plastic+pot&qid=1567393664&s=lawn-garden&sr=1-26
Wonderful setup! I went in on grow lights and the pink ones began to give me headaches. Then I bought large ass CFLs at 6500K and I think I damaged my eyesight, (maybe I'm just getting older, lol) finding a decent reflector for bulbs that size is a pain in the ass. I'm using white LED strips now and a couple medusa lamps with a variety of led bulbs. I still have a pink bulb in the bedroom where I spend the least amount of time time. The combination of window + leds seems to get the job done imo.
I feel your pain. I own a Ficus Pumila Quercifolia. It nearly died on me when I put it on a higher shelf to encourage trailing. It was almost entirely desiccated when I checked on it a few days later.
I tried to nurse it back to health with little luck for about a year. It didn't die on me, but it didn't grow either.
I finally got it growing a couple of months ago. I have it on a shelf near with my pilea glauca near the the calathea section of the plant hood in my home. It's happy as hell now. I'm going to have to re-pot it soon.
My recommendations:
It sounds like a hassle, and it kinda is, but no more than my other fussy plants. It appears to thrive in a Pacific Northwest climate, think temperate rain-forest. I do this for my Calatheas, Pilea Glauca, Pilea Depressa (Baby Tears), Callisia Repens, Soleirolia Soleirolii (Baby Tears), Peperomia Prostrata. The Soleirolia likes its soil wetter than the others. That thing can grow under water. My ice plants, string of hearts, and hoya and dischidia like it dryer, but appreciate the ambient humidity a lot.
I suspect my creeping thyme and corsican mint, which both died horribly in my hands, would have benefited from the treatment Ms. Quercifolia enjoys so much. When I try growing them from seed again I'll see how it pans out. I have a feeling that what works for FPQ will work for Tiny Tears.
My Ficus Pumila on the other hand appears to be un-killable. I sleep with pruning shears under the pillow because of that thing.
I swear by these ones linked below and Bangqiao has similar ones in smaller quantities, both on Amazon.
48 pcs Plastic Nursery Pot for Plants 2.75" Square x 3.25"
Not OP - white nursery pots link that look like the ones in the pic white square nursery pots
They're super easy to grow. Put a seed in each of these and put them all in one of these filled 1" full of water
And keep in a warm and sunny place. Them transfer to pots and put in a sunny window :)
You can buy the seeds online too :D
I just look around Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/BangQiao-Plastic-Nursery-Seedlings-Container/dp/B06WGZ7LCC
These pots from Amazon
BangQiao 4.15" Plastic Square... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WVLV3GM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I personally use these from amazon.
These are good too. You can probably find cheaper ones if you don't care about looks
The thing about the ratios is that you have to change them as the plant matures. So in the beginning, that would be a decent fertilizer ratio because you're focusing on foliage and root development. As the flowers start emerging and pollination happens, you will need higher potassium (K) to get the fruit to grow fast and big. I used pure potash at very high levels during the growth period, equivalent to 0-0-30. Something that will help deliver the nutrients directly and measure water is a 5 gallon bucket with a tube going straight to the main trunk. Just pour the fert in the bucket and fill to dissolve it. This way you don't have to worry about the kids being in the fertilizer and every time you fill it you know exactly what you've given the plant.
Don't worry about any fancy pot. It'll only be able to live in there for 2-3 weeks until it goes in the ground. A small 4" nursery pot will do. (These)[https://www.amazon.com/Yookat-Seedlings-Container-Transition-Lightweight/dp/B071XY6GF1] are exactly what I use and they're reusable!
The seeds you got are from a reputable seller, but don't expect anything over 50lbs. I know the description says 100-300 lbs, but I tried some last year and the biggest was 40 lbs. Great for kids, but not really fair worthy. I highly recommend getting some straight from the man himself, Howard Dill (or rather his (family farm)[https://www.howarddill.com/dill-farm.html]). They are a little pricy, but also very reputable. (These)[http://howarddill.com/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=71_72] are closer to what you would want, more of a hobby seed. (These)[http://howarddill.com/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=60] are more along the lines of serious business.
Okay, pumpkins LOVE sun and heat. I'm talking about that blistering hot, blazing, southern humidity that makes you want to crawl in a hole and die experience. Their biggest growth happens in the dead of summer-July to August. Give them the most open field you can find with as few buildings or trees as possible. They will need at least 100 sqft to sprawl in. At full size the fruit itself can take up almost a quarter of that and the 30'x20' vine (also, (this is a 'standard' vine pattern)[https://giantveggiegardener.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/pumpkin-christmas-tree-pattern.jpg]) will have leaves almost 3' in diameter. My point is, overestimate how much space you will need.
Right now, since all you have is grass, get out there with some shovels, spades, and hoes and turn that dirt up about 6" deep (or if you're doing it by yourself, rent a tiller from Home Depot for $20 a day to save your back). Add amendments such as manure and compost to your soil as needed. If you're feeling really overzealous about it, dig the topsoil out and dump in pure compost and manure. That's a little excessive for a school project, so you'll probably just want to get compost and manure to mix in. I usually buy 20 of (these)[https://www.walmart.com/ip/Earthgro-Cow-Manure-and-Organic-Compost-40-lbs/16904047] from Walmart for each patch.
You also mentioned creating an enclosure. I don't recommend fences because they block the sun. Instead, I like to plant marigolds around the patch as a low, natural border. I've started them with kids for years now and they love them from beginning to end. They sprout in a matter of days, grow incredibly fast, are very resilient to everything, the kids love picking the copious amounts of flowers, and it's so easy to save their seeds you'll never have to buy them again.
A great start to your compost pile would be taking the chunks of grass out of your new patch and putting them in it. It has all of the worms, bacteria, and green matter needed to jumpstart the process. You may not be able to use your compost pile this season, but it's a great tool to teach with and you'll certainly be able to use it next year.

I'm also considering using a small stack of these Mr Stacky Pots as my grow bed. That should give plenty of aeration and room for bacteria.
One of these

with a pvc pipe in the middle I would say it would total about $60
