oo-tee-dee! Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I've been prowling garden centres looking at seed trays and so far I can't find ANY that match the required base "ridge" patterns for the backpack base boxes. Any UK-based Sandies out there know where I can get them from? Surely I don't have to import them in from the States too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutSi Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I live across the road from a massive garden centre Rachel I'll nip in and have a look for you - be handy to know anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 No one has found them yet. Hopefully one turns up, but we are talking about a minimally 30 year old plastic tray. Then the challenge is finding a three line, and a five line. Then of course, replicating them. I don't think there is a snowball's chance that it will turn up anywhere but in the UK. I'd try snooping around old greenhouses that might still be using old 70's era trays, its a long shot but that is all we are ever going to have.

oo-tee-dee! Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 What's the next closest tray in the UK to use then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 What's the next closest tray in the UK to use then? We don't know. You tell us. If I lived in the UK, I'd probably be arrested by now for snooping in people's old toilets, green houses, junkyards, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
