Propagator advice

I would go for the heated garland Super 7 - great little propagator for the small to medium grower. Shop around for the best price Ebay , Amazon etc.
I think you can learn how to water plants with a few tips and tricks like trogre's . When I am planting seeds in the little props , I water the seed compost on a tray until it is just damp. When you squeeze it in your fist the water should just about drip out . I then place it into the props tamp it down lightly and sow the seeds as per the seed packet instructions.

 

Hello again,

Your advice is brilliant, thank you both very much! I think I am always so concerned about the little seedlings drying out that I actually drown them. I will give the "wait until the leaves slightly" droop suggestion a try, and water the soil until it's damp, like you said Harry.

And I will also have a look for the propagator that you suggested!

Thanks again!
