Vez, that tells us not a lot. Come on, don't be shy....how big is it? Electric? Made out of old pallets? How much was it? Where's it coming from? Does it have a name? Come on, you got the nation hanging on the edge of the seat.

It's an electric one with 10 trays,so that I can start off the many different types of tomato that I seem to be acquiring.Who knew there were so many different breeds? Well maybe you all knew but I didn't until this year and the magic of shiny seed catalogues.there is a nice picture of it at thompson and morgan as that's where I have ordered it from.
I plan to start tomatoes, peppers and aubergines in it at home. Then once they are ready move them to my oh so far away plot, it's 2 minutes walk along the road.

B****y H**L.      You won the lottery or what?

You could use a thing like that to warm your bed on a cold night or a sauna in the winter!
Seriously tho', sounds like the bees knees of all propogators. If that doesn't grow owt, nowt will.

NO afraid not. They are mini trays and it's only costing £50.00 but it will be my new toy.
Now warming the bed with it is not a bad idea up here in Scotland. ;D
