Hello there,
I am surprised that there has been no response to this/these ideas.
I have tried using polystyrene very recently for seedlings and indeed, it works easily, it is light, easy to handle and protective of roots and watering.
I will use them until they break and I can't use them anymore, then will send them for recycling (to keep them out of our municipal dumps) as polystyrene as far as I know is not biodegradable.
I have not come across any of the large thick big boxes that I saw at the garden club, but if I do I am thinking of making a water feature somehow. I don't know, guess when I get them in my gardening mitts (not grubby!) will see what I see.
Anyway, what mediums do you use that are unusual for your seeds and germinating and seedling protection. Egg boxes? Avocado skins, citrus cups? Cut up coladrink bottles?
Let us know, ta.
Feeling very holy now ... hope you are smiling.
Cheers now
