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. |

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 ! |

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. |
