Anatomy of a greehouse
I am trying a couple of different potting methods this year.
I am using loo rolls for the sweetcorn seeds, and newspaper-origami pots to pot up tomato seedlings.
The advantages are - cost (free!), green (reduce landfill and increase mulch) and reduced root disturbance when they are planted out (the loo rolls and newspaper break down in the soil - no need to extract the young plant before planting).
This will hopefully work well for the corn, as corn is notorious for hating its roots being played with. Last year’s corn crop was a disaster.
I think we may be heading for too many tomato plants.

I have done the loo-roll thing with a lot of seeds this year - including sweetcorn - and it seems to be working really well.
