strong ultra violet light, heat, wind, birds, rodents, insects, those are the potential downsides you need to be careful of.

And bunnies! I have 3 resident bunnies in my yard currently. I spend a lot of time building barriers around my little garden.
About the clay pots. One of my seedlings is in an old cottage cheese container, it seems to hardly ever need to be watered. The clay pot seedlings seem to dry out a lot quicker. Are clay pots regarded as no-nos for seedlings in the future? I was gonna go the solo cup route but heard a lot about them tipping over a lot.
