Beetroot

[Alison]

I start everything in modules except carrots and p*****ps; and I've now added Root Parsley to that list.

Carrots, parsnips, beetroot, turnips and swede for me

I start early ones in looroll middles (cut in half) then bung the whole thing in the ground ........

Hmm, I wonder if those half loo rolls fit in module trays? Don't laugh please... I find anything in a module tray tricky to ease out without the compost disintegrating and this seems like you'd be more likely to get the plug out undisturbed

As well a loo roll centres, I make small paper pots with one of these...

Paper Potter - Seed Pot Maker

Just as easy to make with a small straight sided jar or even a loo roll inner though. Great to keep the small people occupied on a winter's afternoon.

I was reading the thread and just about to ask how to make these so thanks! Will give that a go. I use at the moment these fibre pots and they are quite expensive in the end I think.
