Take one re-sealable plaggy bag. Insert seed tray, seal bag apart from one inch. Blow into this bit to inflate, quickly fully seal. Hey presto! Re-usable as well.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

They are half-trays, the full ones won't quite go in.  The bags are Tesco 'Large' and come in packs of 15.

I've stopped, thought. Why mess around with coat hangers.? These are entirely self supporting, when inflated the 'dome' is a good 2" clear of the compost. The bags can be used time & time again.
