Which one did you get? I've looked at them before but never settled on buying one. I struggle with available plug sockets in my house too. They're in really random inaccessible placesI got a grow light for my seedlings and it was really worth the money - I was struggling to get enough light even from my best windowsill and things were coming up leggy and leaning
ThanksThe ones I got have been discontinued but this looks like the new version

As soon as the seeds germinate mine go into my unheated greenhouse, with a lid on the seed trays at night. If you don’t have a greenhouse a plastic storage box will do the job. again with the lid on at night or if the weather is bad. Doing this slows them down and encourages root growth instead of long spindly stems.I follow some IG gardening accounts and feel a bit inadequate when I see their seedlings. I can get seeds to germinate ok, but when it comes to growing things on mine always go leggy or don't grow any bigger. I know it's lack of light but there's not much I can do about it other than pray for sun on my window ledges.
Also, I was delaying sowing because people kept saying it's too early, then the end of March comes and somehow they have big seedlings with tons of roots - like they appear from nowhere so quick!
Hanging baskets work well. In a 12" diameter one you could have 4 plants if you use the water holding gel crystals and feed regularly. If it's particularly shallow you might be better off with just three though.Hi all! A bit of advice please- I have strawberries using up 2 raised elho planters- i’d rather use them for lettuce- what could i move them into? I container plant mainly- back problems so don’t dig and avoid bending if I can- any ideas gratefully accepted!
Great idea! thank you! was thinking that or window boxes!Hanging baskets work well. In a 12" diameter one you could have 4 plants if you use the water holding gel crystals and feed regularly. If it's particularly shallow you might be better off with just three though.
Window boxes would be good too. I'd not thought of those!Great idea! thank you! was thinking that or window boxes!
I store mine in the house.Hi after some advice where do you all store your seating Cushions for your outdoor furniture? I Was going to purchase a keter storage container however I’m not sure if they should be stored outside in the winter? I Don’t want them to go mouldy? I did wonder if I vacuum packed them it would preserve them? Any tips or advice much appreciated Thankyou
I bought some of these from ikea and keep them in the garden shed. They’re sturdier than vacuum bags (which never seem to stay vacuumed anyway!) and are a really good size.Hi after some advice where do you all store your seating Cushions for your outdoor furniture?

Japanese Maple? Need to be sheltered from the wind but they do well in dappled shade (or mine are still alive after a few years anyway - which is saying something as I'm not good with containers).Does anyone recommend a plant can can stay in a large pot all year in the shade?
