GROWING ON A BUDGET GET GROWING
GREAT FOR BEGINNERS
Seeds need warmth and light in order to germinate and thrive. British weather is remarkably changeable in the spring. One day we can be gardening in shorts and a T-shirt, the next huddling indoors with a mug of soup, watching hail sprinkling the garden with a layer of ice. For much of the UK, the last frost dates are well into May, which can make sowing and growing from seed a challenge.
Fortunately, there are plenty of thrifty ways to make your own propagating equipment, mostly using household items, so that your seedlings thrive.
USING A REFLECTOR
Whether you're growing in a greenhouse or onhealthy growth. These make the most of daylight, reflecting natural light around the plants, especially useful on windowsills where much of the light is only coming in one direction.
