Default Best trays to use in a Propagator?

You can use just about anything in a heated propagator. The only problem
with using pots is the extra height they take up. If the only worry is the
repotting, try the plug trays which are essentially just a lot of little
pots stuck together. Mine is a small propagator ( possible sankey? ) which
came with two small seed trays but also fits a single larger plug tray (
about A4 size ). Others have said that its not a good idea to apply bottom
heat at this time of year as although your room may appear light, it's
probably not as light as you think so applying bottom heat and low light
will give you straggly plants. It may be better to apply heat to get them

to
germinate, then move them immediatly out onto the windowsill to grow more
slowly.


Thanks. My plan was just to wait until they start coming though and then
moving them out of the propagator and placing them around the house so they
all get a good position for the light, until the time is right for them to
go outside.
