    My Dad had one of those at one stage - they are pretty good, but I am mostly doing less advanced seedlings, and don’t do cuttings. I am using the ones that cover a 12 space punnet, and am pretty happy with them, but they are a touch short for some of the big plants like pumpkin which are hitting the tops as soon as they have sprouted. The tops don’t stay on long once they are sprouted so it’s not a major issue, but having a few taller ones would be good - I’ve reordered from Amazon, so they should be here in a couple of days.

    I quite like the divided punnets - I’ve been cutting them up as I often only want a couple of each type of plant, and I can make mixed punnets and move the varieties that sprout first without disturbing the others. I can also fit 6 of the paper pots I make in a punnet, so bigger plants and ones that don’t like being transplanted go in those.

      yup, that’s why we use the ones I linked for chillis. They stand substantially taller, and the top allows for a good growth height.
