Thread worm is extremely easy to treat and trust me you'd know if you had it. I had a graphic description from my mum when her colleague's daughter was Miss EB's age. A good few years back now but useful last year when Miss EB was still at nursery and contracted them. Unfortunately I owned up to having treated her and they nearly didn't take her that afternoon. The fact that there was a 99% chance she'd picked them up at nursery seemed to escape them.Bright Blessings

If at first you don't succeed, open a bottle of wine.

Tried it this year and worked well for things such as squash that sprouted well and planted out quickly. Others that hung around a while or were kept in humid conditions rotted and the seedlings withered and died!
Used a heat mat (from a reptile tank) on top of some toilet rolls to speed up germination of my sweetcorn which worked really well!
hope this helps

Eww, now I dont know whether to use toilet rolls for things like carrots and parsnips or not? .... This thread is putting me off - think I'll see how this years crops manage without them ....
Life may not be the party we hoped for but since we're here we might as well dance

I'd say you're okay if you're using your own toilet roll tubes, but I'd hesitate to take them home from work. I haven't had much success with planting this way, I think because I packed the rolls too tight in the tray. Interesting range of fungi!Comment

Instead of loo rolls - have you thought of using newspaper - easy(ish) to shape...Comment
