Heated Propagator Hacks: Tips & Tricks for Success

[@veggiepatchideas]

IMPORTANT: If you are new to gardening with a poly tunnel or Greenhouse make sure you watch the end of this Video! Side Note: I also use an Insulated board PIR underneath the heated Propagator. Currently packed away in a box somewhere ready to move 🙄🙄

You forgot about the insulation board underneath the heat mat or hot water bottle, I remembered that tip from you last year and use it myself now. Maybe it’s worth making yourself a simple hanging shelf for the poly tunnel, I made one for my sweet peas and it works really well. Happy new year Glen. 👩‍🌾👍

Hello Glen,good video,i use empty food plastic trays over my seed cells to stop mice,i do this especially with peas,they are hungry little blighters,and can eat a whole tray of pea seeds overnight 👍

[@veggiepatchideas]

Yep my mistake, left them overnight for one day and they found them! In a way I'm glad because its a great lesson for new gardeners with poly tunnels to learn.

Struggling to heat the house let alone propagator/mat!

[@veggiepatchideas]

@@ChrisJohnson-pd4hh I'm with you. Heating costs are crazy. Small seed trays or pots on radiators can get them started. Or delay the sowing until mid Feb/ march time. 🌱🙏
