I have accumulated a lot of these mini plug modules from T&M offers
How We Grow and Send Your Plants | Thompson & Morgan
The root systems on these little plug plants are amazing, so strong yet compact. T&M say that the roots are airpruned in these modules.
Here's part of one - there are 12 modules in a 9" strip.
You wouldn't expect me not to reuse these - would you? Problem is - how? They are flexible, don't stand upright and need to be supported in some way but not buried to allow for air pruning.
Here's my solution - whether it will work or not we'll find out in a few weeks
.
Thirteen strips fit, side by side in a gravel tray.
Three metal bars, from an old grill pan have been inserted through the side of the gravel tray and the ends capped with summat found in the shed.
The modules rest on the bars and sit on a bed of vermiculite, which will be kept damp.
Result - 132 little modules just waiting for some seeds
