Evening all,
I have sown some veg in the past in seed trays and have ended up not being able to get down to the plot as often as I hoped and thus my poor seedlings fried.
I was wondering how everyone keeps their seedlings watered and happy when your away.
I was thinking of putting the seed trays in a tray of water but water logging could be just as bad as drying up.
How do you deal with this potential problem?
I was thinking of utilising the property of water and cohesion (I believe it is) and have the seed trays just above a pool of water but with some cloth being dipped in the pool of water and going into the tray from the bottom.
Thus when water evaporates it would be replenished via the water travelling up the cloth from the pool of water? Just an idea.
Many thanks,
Samuel
