FWIW, for a lot of things (courgettes, melons, sweet peas, sweetcorn)
I would always use root trainers rather than modules.

We grow sweetcorn, peas, beans etc. in Rootrainers, but squashes,
courgettes, etc. tend to grow in smallish pots.


I vaguely recall (from my few past efforts), that I used to always sow two
seeds in each cell or pot (in case one didn't germinate). Is this normal
practice, and if both seeds germinate, is it advisable to destroy one of
the seedlings?

Depends on the plant (and the costs of the seeds). For things that
germinate well enough (which is probably most things for us), then we
just plant one seed in a module - if a few don't germinate I'd rather
that than loads of unwanted plants.

but if you do double sow, and get extra plant, you can either destroy
one , or prick it out as you prefer.
