I have two agrilan planters and am quite happy with them, my only complaint about them is that when in the high position the water tends to stagnate, you think that you've put enough water in but the roots cannot reach the bottom and appear to be drying out out . I think they would be better standing on a flat surface as they are easily pushed out with your finger. Albert.
Cheers Albert, I will keep an eye on the issues you have raised.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
I know I'm pretty off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch new series online?
@Case Leonard Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Alvin Leo Yup, have been using Flixzone for years myself =)
@Alvin Leo Thank you, signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it!
"The water doesn't last very long" - usually because they have not made sure that the compost is all the way down the plug! Fill the plugs off the stand on a flat surface and push it down - also helps in not spilling compost into the watering tray.
I learned very quickly from my first attempt at filling them Steve and I now also sieve the Compost to remove the big lumps.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
I agree with you Terry about the Agralans....I have 5 now with another 2 on order. I must say I prefer the Mk1 design (grey base) as the eject system seems to work better but the UV stabilisation looks better on the new one 👍. PS I added the station ID (1234 etc) to the frame ...as the base can get separated The cells are numbers 1-7 in one direction and then A-E on the adjacent sides......each cell is then identifiable eg tray#2 4C. (adult battleships) 😀👍

Thank you for that tip Nigel, haven't chitted my tomatoes this time because of the issues with dropping them on the floor and all the labels fell out, these are ideal and will get some more when funds allow.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Hi Terry I'm thinking they are a great bit of kit and glad I got two of them , must say what Steve digwell said is great advise. All best Bill and val
Yes I made a few mistakes on the first couple and then got it right and I seived the Compost to remove the big lumps too.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
I have been using these 49 holes seedtrays for some years and find them useful. Mine trays are gray, but it's the same principle.
It is an advantage to sow the same type of seed or seeds that grow at the same rate. When the plugs are pushed out, all 49 plugs go out at the same time.
All the best, Terry.
Yes I found out that on the first tray and had to hook them out and I now seive the Compost to remove the lumps.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
I love my Agralan Plug Plant Trainer I used this to start my onions off and all is well with them. All the best Wayne.
They are good Wayne.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Your garden is looking great! I can’t believe all you have growing this early in the season!
Klaus
The double skinned polytunnel re build will make it even better for food production Klaus and as self sufficient as I can be.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Good and honest review video Terry. If it's not good enough for you, it's not good enough for me. Happy Gardening.
I did wait and see how others got on with them as I don't normally buy plastic to grow in as I prefer and still do to reuse others discarded trays and pots, but they are really good and the seedlings have been really healthy.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Thanks for the review - one of the many things I have been eyeing up for years so good to know it is actually useful. I too would slosh water everywhere lol.
Its nice to see others using these bits of kit before buying as they aren't cheep, but well made and will last a long time if looked after Cara.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Another great video my good friend Terry, those little germinating greenhouses look very attractive
Very thick plastic and should last years Bull.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Great job Terry, everything looking wonderful as usual! Take care, Poo
Cheers Poo, hot yesterday and snow forecast on Monday......lol.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Love these review videos Terry (of course your gardening videos also). I have ordered two Agralans tonight as they look a clever bit of kit. Your allotment is looking excellent.
Cheers my friend, I always try and look at reviews before buying anything.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Son bought me an agrarian for my birthday. Used it for tomatoes. Doing very well. Lid is out of the sunlight. Wish it was cheaper though.
How much are they please?
@@mickmellors190658 think paid £16.99. Think they have gone up in price though
@@mickmellors190658 search on Amazon, discounted for two, some sellers are cheaper than others Mick.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
I dropped my chitting seeds last year so decided to take the plunge and haven't regretted it and will last years.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Thanks for sharing Terry 👍👍👍
Cheers my friend.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
These look really good. I’ve seen them in my local hardware shop and always thought they looked pretty sturdy. I may have to get one and give it a go!
🧑🌾 Steve 🧑🌾
I have been very impressed and germination rates are so much better, saved me some chitting time Steve.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Wow, loads of vibrant veg on the go Terry. I have a couple of Agralans. First attempt to use was with onions and they failed, or should I say, I failed. Steve pointed out that probably the compost wasn’t far enough down each cell. I have beetroot successfully growing in one at the moment so hope we get a nice crop. Looking forward to popping up the plants 😆
I had the same issues with the Compost so I now seive the Compost to remove all the lumps and its working out better Mags.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Cool planter ya got there. Never seen those before. Keep us posted and show us how it works when ya punch them out to plant up. Garden is kicking right along. Gonna be another freeze hit us by the end of the week. Hope it's not gonna be like that over there. I seen those sweet candles! Gonna wait a bit longer to get past this freeze to do ours. Need to get back on that poly tunnel. Stay safe and have a great week!
They pushed out really well my friend's and all planted up. More done on the polytunnel and trying to figure out the sliding windows. We have snow forecast for Monday.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Nice one Terry they’ve definitely changed the material for the lids as mine was more of a white plastic like the tote boxes you get from B&Q etc those seem much clearer good idea to keep out of the sunlight. They’re great little plug planters although initially expensive they work really well and as long as you look after them will last years. Moisten the plugs before removing as well is a good idea after that they’re great straight into a bigger pot or straight into the ground. Cheers 🍻
Cheers Jacko, getting on better with them now I am seiveing the Compost to remove the lumps.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Awesome plant
I already sending full support
Stay connected
Thank you.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Looking great Terry yep definitely going purchase plug grower great update Andy West Yorkshire
I do like them even though they are plastic, long lasting so worth the investment.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
nice trays terry. your stuff is looking great.
Cheers John and I did my first harvest and weigh in on the previous video and Mark was well vocal......lol.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
All looking really good Terry. Should get a bumper crop from your carrots 🥕 All the best G&B
The carrots have done very well and should last till the new crop is ready.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Terry one of your parsnips will last for ten meals they are that big, love your vids keep them coming
Some aren't as big as others but very tasty even so.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
If I could, I'd order a ton of these, Terry!! I love these Agralan Trainers!! So glad they work so well with everyone! I recall Jacko saying that the lid should be stored out of sunlight too! I love that the SFG beds act as a cold frame too! The colours look great in the sun!! The SFG are awesome!! I may have to come visit for a week of grazing one day! You've reminded me of Alan again! I hope he's well! I miss him!! Great to see you Terry, as always, my friend!!💖
I think the newer ones (green) have better UV stabilised lids than the older (grey) ones - that is to say, my grey ones are cloudy but my green ones aren't!
Any plastic that isn't used should be kept out of the sunlight Chris, but I am impressed with them and really good advice from Steve and all the other creators that use them.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Thank you, Terry! Duly noted! I'm glad you like them, and very I'm glad you get great advice from great creators! Have a fantastic day, my friend!!😊💖@@terrykingsallotmentgardening

They look like a pretty cool little gadget
Very impressed Monty.

Interesting vlog great to see things growing so well 👍
We are due more cold weather so looking after our tender seedlings is priority that's why I don't sow too early Janet.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Thanks
Thank you for your time in commenting.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Thanks for that very interesting review Terry. I found it very informative. I have seen that when allowed to go to seed, parsnip flowers attract black fly away from other vegetables. Cheers
They have grown an inch since cutting them down Mark.....lol. will have to get them eaten.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
I've got two buried in the allotment shed , going to dig them out now , faith restored
Its okay watching others using them, but I have found them very easy to use.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
The Agralan Plug Plant Trainers look very interesting I need to see if we can get them over here in the states
They are a nice compact system that works really well Babette.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Good review I will have to get one of those to try. thanks your your inspiring videos.
They are expensive, but will last a long time. I prefer to reuse others throw outs but these will be worth the investment.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Those were interesting, thanks for sharing. Take care and have a blessed week.
Cheers my friend's, found them very useful for my seeds, very pleased with my investment.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
nice bit of kit terry nice video
Cheers Steven, I am impressed with them.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Handy seed trays Terry. Lots going on
They have helped me greatly and when you have used them a few times you know what they are capable of. Will be glad when the double Skinned polytunnel rebuild is done.....lol. so it will give me more space.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Hi Terry, thanks for doing the review, I have been thinking about getting some of those plug plant starters. The parsnip experiment looks interesting, they seem to be doing really well :-)
I am always thinking twice about buying plastic, but these are long lasting so too the plunge. Looking forward to seeing how the parsnips do and hopefully they won't go to seed.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
I’ve got a couple this year, I think they are very good, just you need to make sure you fill them with stuff that germinates at the same time, & also nothing too big, not sure I should have put a row of cucumbers in!
Well I won't be trying cucumbers then my friend and yes they are really good once you get used to them.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
I'm old fashioned mate i use toilet roll tubes in a box with cling film over them. Good video👍😊👍
I found cardboard rolls only suited the bean family and I use kitchen rolls for the beans and toilet rolls for the peas.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
I have 3 of these and have been using them now for 4 years They produce good plug plants
Been watching my fellow creators who have them Vincent and decided to take the plunge and I have been impressed with the results, well worth the outlay.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Just ordered 2 of these was waiting on someone doing a review on these so thanks terry👍
I have been watching people use them John and took the plunge to buy some and decided to share my thoughts and let people comment on their experiences.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Love you channel Terry . Where did you get the seed plug trays from. Keep up he good work.
Mine are from Amazon Darren and look out for the discounted one when you buy two together.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
A nice bit of kit Terry, I've had my eye on these for a couple of years now myself :-) 🍺
I haven't bought any plastic to grow my plants in for 5 years and reused others throw outs, but after watching our fellow creators using them I decided to spend some of the pennies we get to take the plunge and I am so glad that I did, highly recommended for now.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Hi Terry, interesting review, the plugs look tiny in them. Just wondering why keep the lid out of the sun when not using. I won a seed tray bustaseed in a competition, i must say its so good,word checking out, one off buy as reusable and sturdy, won't say much more as you can check it out on Nialls garden. Weather looks great there , crops are looking so good. The garlic looks superb.Everytime you show us around i still am in awe of how much you have going on. You are doing a fantastic job as always. Thanks for a great share.
The lids on the earlier models reacted to the sunlight so the company has improved the quality of the clear top, but its always best to keep plastic out of direct sunlight when not in use. Thank you my friend for your kind words and continued support.

Why yes I did, didn't I! LOL ♊💚@@DigwellGreenfingers
Chrissy you have you finger on the button for sure to be first lol
Been a very lucky week for that I must say!LOL 💖
@@ExploringNatureTogether it has been for you most of the week keep it up How's the puppy
Those Agralan plug trainers do look good and don't take up much space, maybe I shall ask for some for my birthday in November 😂. Those walking onions look good too 😊
I now seive the Compost to remove the lumps and that has helped Bethan and well worth the initial investment.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Fantastic video Terry love those probagater trays where did you get them from and love what you've done with your cold frames keep up the awesome work nick
They are on Amazon Nick and look for the offer on buying two. Pallet collar cold frames have worked really well.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Thanks Terry I'll take a look and I'll try doing what you said with my videos 📹 over the weekend 👍🙂
@@nicksveggiepatch1976 I don't edit so I try and keep it flowing, people soon loose interest and we need to keep them watching for as long as we can.
Hi Terry King can I ask you a big question? when you do your filming 🎥 did you have to get permission do it or did you just start doing it the reason I'm asking is because I had a member from our town council today down the allotment and told me I had to stop doing my TH-cam channel because I don't have permission any advice would be great thanks nick
@@nicksveggiepatch1976 anyone can film in public and you only need permission from anyone who is in the film to put it on TH-cam so I try and wait when no one is about. To stay friendly with the council ask how you get permission and you have taken advice and would like to see what rule you are breaking.
👍👍👍
Cheers Monara.

The plant trainers are most useful Terry.
I don't normally buy plastic for my seeds, but this has made alot of difference in my growing spaces Patrick.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
You wouldn't believe the price of those over here! To get 4 of those, it would be cheaper to get a good quality 3D printer and make my own!!!
They aren't all that cheep here but well made and will last a long time, hopefully the market will open up over there and the price will come down, ice cube tray will have to do for now for you, cheep as chips.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
You really in another league so interesting to see your allotment the way you work and your thoughts, mmm Bulls Blood a lovely Hungarian wine 😁 so is the advantage of the plug trays if you are growing large amounts??
The bulls blood is a great addition as a leafy crop for salads and my lunch box my friend.

Sorry Terry, thought I'd commented - laptop being naughty and hopping - I still haven't mastered the new book replacement, so keep shutting down the lappy and turning it back on. Amazingly the cursor actually clicks on things without me working it! Garghhh!
Sooooo I can't remember much but I did like the stubby nubbins at the base to lift the plants up. I remember Steve using his too. I still have loads of Rootrainers but they are gradually disintegrating and unable to get replacements unless you buy one at a time. I like the sturdiness of the new cells. Just bought a couple of Charles Dowding cells to try in the meantime. Agralan definitely gets the thumbs up all across the board so thank you for your review too, much appreciated. xx
I don't normally buy plastic for my plants, seeds and seedlings and prefer to reuse others throw outs, but these will last a long time and well worth the investment. Take care my friend.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
I agree - I'm not loving the plastic, but trying to reuse while I can, so want something that will last - if it is eco friendly then that's fine - I hope. I have inherited my dad's flowerpots which are ancient but still good, although some are too big for the initial growing stage. Have a super day 🌱xx
@@kerryl4031 ♻️👍♻️
Looks efficient. Be interested to see your thoughts on root disturbance when you transplant them. I'll keep a eye out from some popsicle makers at the dollar store :) Broccoli seems to worth the wait !!
Cheers Terry
I do recommend them.
Happy gardening, Terry King.
Can't seem to get those plug trainers here we seem to be always behind the times lol
As they become popular they should be available everywhere, highly recommended.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Like your channel. But i avoid any product thats being advertised by youtubers. Led lights etc etc etc.
Thank you my friend and I try and make my titles very clear so everyone has the opportunity to watch or not, this is interesting to some and not others.
