Title: seed tapes
Post by: ACE on June 11, 2016, 12:28:12
I picked up a load of varieties of seed tapes for 10p a packet, bunged in the radish, lettuce and spring onions, 3 days later they are all showing. Has anybody else used these tapes. First time for me.

I've used the carrot tapes from Franchi, but must admit had patchy germination this year, perhaps my fault as last years seeds. They are easy to use though, you got a bargain!

Are the sweet peas from seed tapes Johnny?
Ace I have used them with good results but I wouldn't buy them unless they were a bargain price like the price you paid for them. THey tend to be a bit expensive. I guess it depends on how many seeds you want to actually sow.

They were from a shop called QM or something like that. 10p a packet and three 2m seed tapes in each one of different veggies. All the usual staples, nothing exotic. All showing after 4 days but it is proper growing weather.
