Cheap Electric Propagators

[andrewo]

Thanks for all the feedback, I'm off to buy one, might consider getting a good plastic greenhouse too!!! Any recommendations?

[Mrs Dobby]

Bex, we got two of the Sankey ones from Wyevale for £12.99 each, after seeing the price you had quoted, so thanks very much for the info! We've also already got 8 unheated propagators, I've now banned Mr D from the garden centers, we could propagate almost 400 seeds in individual seed trays if we wanted or needed to now!

Its a pleasure Mrs D. Mine is going great guns, leeks are looking fine.

Good luck with it

I bought a Sankey heated propagator from the local wyevale for £12.99, only sowed seeds on Sunday so will let you know.
Monday I bought a Parasene 'fast grow' propagator from homebase for £16.99 again will have to let you know not sure how long onions are supposed to take to germinate.

Hi Bex are you the same Bex as on the allotments forum? I am slugtastic on there but couldnt get that name here so went for some positive (and wishful) thinking!

The forum police will be onto you sunny.

[Shortie]

Digger!

Are we that bad?

[Digger-07]

Of course not, it was some other bloke anyway, honest.

Another grape that thins I'm a bloke. Maybe I should take more girly-ish

I started with a little one that takes full tray (two half etc.) and last year picked up one of the windowsill jobbies that takes seven quarter trays via an offer in the magazine (£27.50 inc p+p instead of £30+ excl p+p). Very happy with both. The one with seven trays came in very handy for different varieties of chillis/peppers/toms all together. And it is slim enough to sit on a window sill. (unlike me!!)

Thank you for the reference sewer rat, bit the bullet and bought one of those windowsill propagators from Two Wests - as you and Nick say, good for sowing little & often, and for lots of varieties. Can't wait!

Hi Sunnyday, could be me but I don't go on there that often.
