How do you stop the soil from washing out of the ends of your lengths of guttering holding your precious pea seeds? I've tried 'gaffa / duck (or is it duct) tape. :blink: Cheers, Tony.

I line the gutters with cling film or polythene and fold the ends up an secure with sellotape - works fine.

I've used gaffa tape, will be removed prior to sliding plants out of said guttering

You could also use gutter ends that are designed for the job...

I've found a method that no one has ever tried before, forget gutters, pots, trays, root trainers.......
Dig a ditch and throw them in the ground.
Radical?
Hey - that's the type of guy I am!

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

The reason I ask is. . . .
I have a quantity of marine ply and a 4" hole cutter. If anyone wants disks of 4" marine ply to cut in half (or if requested, pre cut) to screw to the ends of guttering. Send me a Self adressed Stamped Envelope big enough and I'll send them out.
A donation to the R.N.L.I. is all I ask. Cheers, Tony.
