At the nursery the other day I bought a packet of grow tubes to try sowing some seeds in. Supposed to be 20 in packet but I was short changed as only 19. Anyway I have filled them with compost, stuck them in a plastic box which had held fatballs and will sow a few seeds today. Most of my seeds will be in pots though. I have never used grow tubes for SPs before so I thought why not try them. Will post pics when I get round to it.

I'm going to try some in toilet roll tubes as well but I am going to do more in pots.
Working out the best way of tieing them up is the next thing I need to work out.
