the big problem i have with it atm, as i don't have any potted
plants at all
atm (except one tomato) is that i grow seeds in it, & they come up &
it's
all good for a while, but then the seedlings just stop growing,

To grow seeds you need a seed raising mix and not a potting mix. It
can be bought at garden centres in similar plastic bags but it's quite
different to potting mix.
