Greenhouse Propagators
Greenhouse Propagators- a greenhouse propagator is a must-have piece of gardening equipment if you intend to make the utmost use of your greenhouse and extend your growing season to almost a 365 days a year operation. Propagators come in many varied shapes and sizes but all are designed to create a warm micro-climate ideal for germinating seeds. As with anything in life, you get what you pay for, and propagators are no different; there's the budget range of unheated models - just perfect for a windowsill or sunny location - dig a little deeper into your pocket for the heated base version, all of which will raise the ambient temperature of the compost and well suited to a heated greenhouse; or go large with the thermostatically controlled, unerringly accurate self-contained units which generate the bottom heat essential for successful germination and also provide an area to grow on your seedlings in safety.

And if you're of the DIY persuasion, you can always construct your own custom-made propagation bench with a little bit of know-how and a set of our soil warming cables; if space is limited we've heat mats and pads; there's a range of thermometers to accurately record the temperature of your seed compost; individual pots with vented lids and much, much more!

ROOT!T Grow Light Systems
ROOT!T Grow Light Systems
from £59.95
The ROOT!T Grow Light Systems allow you to overcome one of the biggest hurdles in plant propagation and early/late season growth - a lack of quality daylight.

You'll stop greeting dull mornings with a resigned sigh as your greenhouse plants will be illuminated by the astonishingly efficient, high output ROOT!T T5 full daylight spectrum bulb, designed to provide young plants and seedlings with essential light. Each daylight bulb is cool running, economic to run, has a 20,000 hour life and produces 20% more light intensity than standard fluorescent grow lights.

The bulbs are supported in a simple to assemble and sturdy, powder coated steel frame and heavy duty cords are used to adjust the height of the ROOT!T bulb unit as the plants grow beneath. ROOT!T Grow Light Systems are available in two sizes (commonly known as 2ft and 4ft models), feature a generous 2m long power cord, independent on/off switch and can be easily moved around the greenhouse or conservatory.

ROOT!T Grow Light Systems are ideal if you're looking to get a head start in the vegetable or ornamental flower growing stakes, improve the success rate and vigour of your seedlings and grow ridiculously healthy plants!

ROOT!T Heat Mats
ROOT!T Heat Mats
from £29.95
The range of ROOT!T Heat Mats direct essential heat to the engine room of seeds and cuttings - the roots - and can cut several days off the time it usually takes to germinate seeds and strike cuttings.

These mats - available in three greenhouse and even conservatory friendly sizes - are real quality and once plugged into the mains (via a 1.8m long power lead) will raise the ambient temperature at the base of seed trays or pots by between 5.5 and 11°C, the seedling equivalent of warming your feet in front of a blazing log fire! Waterproof, fray proof and extremely durable, the mats can be used in conjunction with a thermostat for degree accurate growing and can simply be placed on greenhouse staging or a table - but providing an insulated surface beneath (eg polystyrene) and covering any seed trays with lids will further improve results.

ROOT!T Heat Mats offer uniform heating and avoid hot spots with their intricate pattern of fine wire; you'll find instructions printed on the mat so they can never be lost and there's a size to suit every growing situation - the small mat measures 25cm x 35cm and takes one standard sized seed tray; you'll fit two standard seed trays on the 40cm x 60cm medium sized mat and the large - a jumbo 40cm x 120cm - will accomodate four seed trays.

24 Cell Self Watering Seed Success Kit
24 Cell Self Watering Seed Success Kit
£6.45
Quality seed trays are the mainstay of any greenhouse and garden and when they're as durable as the trays included in the 24 Cell Self Watering Seed Success Kit, and are complimented by a clear propagation cover, layer of capillary matting, inner platform and 10 day water reservoir, then it becomes clear how the seed sowing success kit got its name.

The injection moulded, 24 cell seed tray is where the action's at and will last for years - you can even sterilise them in a dishwasher - whilst the clear lid will create the perfect conditions for seed germination. Over - or a lack of - watering is one of the major causes of seedling fatalities but with a section of capillary matting on board and drawing water from the base reservoir, your seedlings and young plants will find conditions underfoot just to their liking.

And when you consider all moulding components in the 24 cell self watering seed success kit are guaranteed for 10 years and (with the exception of the capillary matting and clear cover) are made from 100% recycled plastic, it's clear this seed sowing and watering kit is a success in every way.

Green Start Coir Pot Set
Green Start Coir Pot Set
£4.95
The Green Start Coir Pot Set is the epitome of recycling and if you're at all interested in the welfare of the planet (along with the success of your seedlings and young plants) then these coir pots are the place to start.

Manufactured to provide ethically based employment to people in Sri Lanka, the coir is a waste product from coconut processing and will only be with you for a short while before the 12 green start root runner tapered pots and 6 round pots (4cm diameter) break down and return to the soil!

And it's not only pots you get in your Green Start Coir Pot Set; the kit also contains coir discs so you won't need compost and carrying/seed sowing trays, made out of - you've guessed it - coir! All the pots will slowly biodegrade in the soil after a few weeks (adding invaluable organic matter to the soil from which they came from) and as a result, are ideal for starting off seedlings which don't like having their roots disturbed and for avoiding transplant shock.

Roots of plants are 'air pruned' as they push their way through the coir pots, leading to a strong and well-developed root system and with the tapered pots proving tailor-made for tap rooted seedlings (beans and peas for example), the Green Start Coir Pots represent recycling in its purest form and will make a big impression in the short time they are with you!
