Anyone know where I can buy the micro-cells that comapnies such as T&M now
use to grow and sell mini plugs? Just looking for the empty cells, not the
plants.

Which size do you want?
Remember that most plug trays are large holding several hundred plugs per
tray

I've seen some advertised recently but can't for the life of me remember
where. If I come across them I'll repost. As a rough guess they held about
30 per tray, definitely not as many as 100. There were 2 pictures, one
showing normal size plug trays and the other the mini ones. I didn't take
much notice as I didn't want any. Sorry I can't be more helpful but it may
jog someone else's memory.

Hi H
How deep are they ? as I've been given some polycarb sheeting and a planning
to build a propagator.

How deep are they ? as I've been given some polycarb sheeting and a
planning
to build a propagator.

The Plantpak Mini Plug Trays contains 16x12 cell mini plug trays, held in a
rigid drip tray. The pack costs approx. £2.99. Each of the 16 mini-trays
measure 6.5 x 10.5 cm. Each plug is about 2.5 - 3 cm deep and about 2 cm
wide. The nice thing about these is you can plant up each mini-tray with 12
seeds, and as they come up, can move them out to different conditions, as
opposed to having to move out the whole large tray.

Planted some seeds a few days ago ... and have now got cucumbers, tomatoes,
dianthus, melons etc germinted and growing..... :-)

Thanks for the info, I can now plan the propagator, well it's more like a
5ft x 2ft heated coldframe. I'll be using my 30 watt beer making strap as a
heater.
I've just taken over a half share in an allotment, so I like the idea of
flexility, esp with the differant germination periods.

Thanks again .......... Paul
