We have just finished trialling these larger ‘plugs’ which the ladies of Sri Lanka make for us.
Full of natural coir compost, wrapped in coir fibre and very much hand made, I tried them with both our broad and runner beans,and pumpkins*.
Was really chuffed with the results.

Two wet weeks later
( far too wet to cut the grass ! )
|
|
Here I am planting the beans out in our new raised vegetable beds.
Joe made them from old pallets which were just going to be thrown away - he does have some uses !
|
He’ll fall asleep soon - then I’ll bury it !
|
Must admit, I did dig in a couple of handfuls
of some Neem and Seaweed when I planted out.

Daisy also grew the ‘Three Sisters’ in one of our sets - Sweet Corn, Runner Beans and French Beans, which gave me an idea for something different to “goody bags” for the next party.
* Have you tried Squash risotto - it’s lovely - drop me an e-mail for the recipe.

These plugs are over 2” round and just over 3” deep.
A set of 4 come complete with a Grow Tray
Just take off the ‘lid’, pop in your seed or cutting, water and wait.
£1.95 per set
