+--- Thread: Setting up a propagation bench in the GH (/showthread.php?tid=871)
RE: Setting up a propagation bench in the GH - Scarlet - 08-02-2021
I know it sounds a lot but I will get lots of fun with this. Just a little bit excited

I'm jealous, also of Eyren's Geopod.

I'm sure you could, Spec, but I'm with Scarlet on this. I'd rather pay more for a proper job that risk playing about with electrics and water when I have no idea how to do it.

I just didn't have the confidence to get it all working. My OH has his own hobbies so I wouldn't get much help there - he does enough digging over stuff when I can't always do it.
Just setting up a box and getting all the bits in was worrying for me. This is expensive compared to doing one myself but I think it was the best solution for me.

Scarlet just read the post where you said you have bought the heat mat, I wish you well with it, one thing I would recommend is using some fleece to protect your plants from the cold at night, your seeds and cuttings need to be kept moist but I have found that, as no doubt you know after taking cuttings from a dahlia and leaving it in a moist atmosphere can cause the plant to get mould

Sorry Veggie I thought that I had deleted that post before anyone had read it, I had missed Scarlets post saying she had bought a mat, and I didn't want her to think I was criticising in any way, it was intended as advice for her

And now discovered Scarlet read it as well
sorry girls
RE: Setting up a propagation bench in the GH - Veggie - 08-02-2021
Its ok Spec, we all do whatever we're capable of, and, when we're not, we have to pay someone to do it for us. Of course, if you'd lived nearer.......

Yes I would have been happy to make one for her though the shape might have put her off, broad at the top tapering a bit at the base

Oh and the girls bit is meant in the generic term, before you start to build your hopes up
