Thanks for that Wombat ... I decided against going straight into the growbag, and went for the pot option ... i've now got 3 little shoots from the seeds I planted a week ago!

Tomatoes in a growbag

Hi peepz,

Newbie to vegetable growing here, and I was wondering if I can just put some tomatoes seeds I have brought straight into a grow bag or do I have to put them into pots first, let them grow a little then put them in the grow bag?

Thanks

My fire is not pumping out alot of heat, can you help??

Hi peepz, I've just recently moved into a new property (rented) and it has a wood/coal fire in the living room which is not pumping out alot of heat. I've taken out the grates at the bottom of the fire so we could get a bed of wood ash built up, which we thought might be the cause of the lack of hea...
