Rootrainers provide the best growing system for seeds, plugs and cuttings by way of the deep ribbed cells which help seedlings develop strong, fibrous root systems. The unique open-bottomed design of the cells allow earlier root tips to make contact with the air and die off, which are replaced by fresh young roots. The re-usable cells hinge open to allow easy removal of the plant, with no root disturbance, ready for transplanting. As recommended on BBC Gardeners World, Friday 20th April 2007

What The Experts Say...
"Good way to raise bedding or cuttings as it makes handling the plants simpler. Those produced should be bigger and garden ready due to the larger root system."
"Especially useful for plants that need deep root runs and dislike root disturbance. Opens like a book for easy inspection of moisture levels, root growth and the removal of plants." 'Best Buy', Tried and Tested Seed Sowing, Garden News, January 18th 2011
