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

One of Chris Beardshaw's 'Three Little Gems', Daily Mail, 24th February 2007. Chris said "Sowing seeds into training mechanisms is one of the best methods to ensure young seedlings suffer little disturbance during transplanting. This system has a hinge at the base to allow trainers to be reused."
