Unless you are a real expert gardener, and I am not, it is easy to forget what a plant you have just planted or seeds you have sown in your garden are called, even more so at the end of the season when they have faded.
Plant labels really help. Now you can stick in a lollipop stick with the name written in biro but they tend to look tatty after a few rain showers, or you can buy white plastic ones that are no good for the environment in the long run, nor do they look very nice because they stick out like a sore thumb amongst the lovely flowers.
Much the best thing to use are slate plant markers.
To be fair they are not the cheapest way to do it, but they will last forever and it is not as if you will need hundreds of them.
They are discreet and blend into the garden and the plants really nicely.
I looked everywhere for them and found some on a site named after a very long river that came from goodness knows where.
Then up popped Grow, Sow Greener and as they said on their website 'A small family run business based in rural South Devon'.
That was good enough for me because it was not far from where I live.
I ordered three packs, they arrived in neat little cloth bags with soapstone pens to write on them with. No plastic anywhere.
So there you are, so far I now have six in use in the garden and now when I sit in my deck chair with a glass of something with a coloured paper umbrella in it admiring my gardening skills and listening to the sounds of bees buzzing around, I know the plant markers are there but you need to look closely to see them.
It's the way to go if you care about these things, as we should.
Have to commends these guys, their seeds are top notch and customer service is first class.
I would recommend this tray to everyone who wants to sprout. The best I had so far. Thank U
I love this stuff! Organic, easy to use and goes a long way!
Great tray - used with the reservoir tray - I can see these lasting us for years!
Best around. Being an electrician prior I was making my own lights for years but these are sleek and so easy to use. Game changer
My customers were delighted with these Rambo Radish microgreens! They sure do have a nice kick to them!
Excellent organic seeds., easy to grow with v little effort. A good way to get children interested in real food & where it comes from. The companies also v reliable with fast shipping & v good customer service etc. well done!
I’m very pleased to have found this company. I’ve ordered from here at few times now and the service is always very efficient & reliable. The communication is very good, products well packaged & fast delivery. More importantly the seeds are great quality & easy to grow.
Nice piece of kit, sturdy, well-made etc.
I have sprouted 2 types of seeds so far, Red Lentil & Broccoli Calabrese. Very tasty and keep well in the fridge.
My preference is for the larger seeds as the smaller ones tend to cling onto the mesh of the tray when they sprout which makes cleaning a little more difficult. I use a slightly abrasive sponge under running water and it works ok for me.
Seeds, pots and discs are all good, but, sizes and quantities are random; and actual instructions for planting and caring are woefully absent. Details of tomatos also should be better.
Brilliant pea seeds - near 100% germination rate, no need to sanitise at all with H2O2, zero mold, great looking and tasting pea shoots.
Arrived on time , good quality packaging , exactly like the pictures and description, definitely recommend using grow sow greener
I have had excellent results with these sunflower seeds, grown in coir, also sourced from GSG. Seed to harvest 10/11 days. Germination 100% (or very nearly). No mould. Fresh and crunchy with a subtle carrot taste on first bite followed by a delicious nutty flavour.
