Getting grown plug plants out of modules.

Goosegirl:
I'm about to plant out my antirrhinums and lobelia plants that I put into modules. When I have done this and upended one side I find that some of the others either fall out or get a bit squashed by the tray. Today I am going to try out using a shoe horn as it is smaller in size that a bulb trowel and they should come out much easier. Whaddya you think?

whaleroad:
I use a weed membrane peg. Use it like tongs. Saw someone doing it on instagram and it changed my life.

mrs bouquet:
I push gently with a pencil and squeeze them a bit, then hope for the best. :D  Mrs Bouquet

Goosegirl:
MB, that's what I used to do but the module tray is so flimsy that if I get my hand underneath and squeeze the whole lot might fall out!  :ohmy: :blush:

I've had some success with kebab skewers from underneath.  Make sure the soil is moist, it helps unglue them
