Is it worth creating a nursery bed?

24-03-2014, 10:48 AM

Morning all,

I watched gardeners world recently and heard the concept of a nursery bed for the first time.

I was just wondering what are the benefits to having a patch of land dedicated as a 'nursery bed'?

One thing has come to mind when I, say for example, receive plants which I do not know where to put at the time of receiving them. So I guess it would be advantageous to have a plant hotel area for short stays

I do not see any advantages of sowing seeds in a nursery bed as opposed to within plugs/containers within my polytunnel but that may just be because of I have yet to learn about any.

Thank you for your replies,

Samuel

I dont see a lot of advantage either particularly as you have a polytunnel, I suppose if you dont then its an area where you could concentrate care and protection, clotches, nets etc without having them all over the garden.
