I couldnt resist! I havent had a propagator in almost 6 years...and decided to buy one ...where more perfect than the UK is there to have one (ok, Sweden)...I was thinking initially of peppers and helping them germinate...but then I realized that I could save quite a bit of time with plants by using this! Ill still grow somethings on the simple windowsill...but this should kick it up a notch.
I chose a Garland Super 7 for its length, its wattage compared to others...and although it had multiple domes unlike others....
- Measures 76cm (30) x 18.
- Wattage 13
Watt carbon fibre element for even heat distribution.
- This unit is not
thermostatically controlled and is designed to increase the ambient
compost temperature by around 8°C
I started to like it more for that and how much I could utilize the space!
I almost got the one below for a little bit cheaper...and it matched my kitchen accents :) but the wattage was lower, it was smaller, and I just didn't think I could utilize it as well. Multiple lids mean multiple chances to knock them off :)...however they both seem pretty stury.
Here is the other one above that I loved in looks!
- Stewart 67cm Electric Kitchen Garden Propagator Set - Lime,
- Contains base tray, clear double vented lid, two premium seed trays, five 8cm pots and
- a waterproof 12 watt heating mat
- Measures 67cm long, 16cm Wide, 18cm High.
I debated from reading reviews of multiple tops versus single tops, but just gave up and agreed that you can have multiple ventilations (particularly handy if you get a moisture/fungus issue.
So, seeds watch out!! Now I have to plan my planting on sets of pots/ trays which is the next hurdle, as these will be growing so fast, right? :)
Here are some blogs about it!
