Common questions about propagating plants

How to raise many plants in a small area and set them out early. This can be a rapid process, meaning you save time, space and resources.
How to use module trays with small cells. Which plants are suitable, which are not – as in my examples.
See results of multisowing spring onions, beetroot, radish, peas.
Large seeds like broad beans, no worries about the tap root. They grow fine in shallow module cells.

I show different procedures for warmth loving plants, such as potting on. I show cucumber, aubergine, tomato.
How much to harden off? - none if you use covers!
A big timesaver!!
