PLUG PLANT DESCRIPTION

We use several sizes of plug, ranging from 30x30mm to 40x60mm, with varying depths The plug is formed using a peat based seed compost, or worm casts from our own wormery, this we use for the organic seed.

We sow flower or veg seed onto these plugs some singly and some multiple, depending on what we are sowing at the time. When the resulting seedling/ plants are large enough for dispatch, they are wrapped in damp news paper /cardboard, bubble wrapped and posted in a strong polythene bag.

On receipt, the plants can be either potted on and grown under protection if frost is a problem, or planted out. The seedlings in multi seeded plugs should be teased apart before planting.
