I purchased an electric propagator as my seedlings are now banned from the house. Seed trays do make a mess however careful you are in the house. So this years leeks are now in the propagator that uses the same electric current as a household bulb. It sits in the greenhouse which is kept above freezing by an electric heater. I have used half sized seed trays and one of them has this years chrysanthemums in it. The lid has vents so you can keep out excess moisture. I also purchased some copper fungicide useful in many applications but for the seeds this is to avoid them damping off. After sowing the seeds you mix the powder with water and then water the soil. If the propagator works I will buy a second one for flowers. It cost abouts thirty pounds. ( Feb 22 2005, 05:03:01 AM PST ) Permalink Comments [0]
