Hi Can I ask what the plank method is? appart from me that is!

Use a glass jar with no air hole and the seedlings will probably overheat and die. You could try the top half of 2 litre water/cola etc bottles.

Now, being a paid-up-member of the re-use community, myself and like minded people being constantly vigilant a...

I don't want to sound obtuse but, why throw away boiled kettle water. Store it, use! Plants, loo ect.

Having read all comments, I am with orange/freeserve £17.99 per month, slow service & get disconnected. Rubbish service!!
