Best trays to use in a Propagator?
Hi,
Last year I promised myself I would grow some fruits/vegetables next year and true to my word, last weekend I went and purchased some Tomato, Sweetcorn, Runner Beans and a few other packets of seeds. Also some Seed and Cutting compost plus "Peat Pots" - as I liked the idea that you sow the seed within the pot, and then when it comes to re-potting you plant out the complete pot - as in the past when re-potting young plants they always seemed to die on me. So I thought I was ready come Feb when the Tomatoes need to be sowed, and the rest is around March/April time. But then I started reading about propagators. I plan to sow all the seeds inside first, the room I plan on using has lots of natural light, but of a night (in the early months of the year) the room can be quite cold once all the heating goes off (although I doubt it drops to below 19c, but not sure). So I think a heater propagator would be a good purchase, looking at them in my local B&Q all they seem to be is a unit which is heated and contains 2 or more seed trays. Do you have to sow all the seeds in the tray, as I would be worried when it comes to re-potting, although some come with cells which I guess would be easier to use. Although B&Q do a propagator which is 57cm by 38cm, so if I took out the trays I think I could fit in a number of those "peat pots" I purchased, which will make my life even easier (the brand is Growarm). So getting to the point, I am concerned about re-potting my plants, so I am looking for the best kind of pots or trays I should use to make things easy plus give my plants the best chance. Thanks!
