Affiliate Links on Amazon

Although only my second year, I've bought and used a number of items off of Amazon. I now have an affiliate link, so please feel free to browse below.

The first products are what we use in the office for seed propagation, involving a seed tray, two heat matts and a grow light.

Future plans for the garden will involve moving this setup outside into a greenhouse with a solar panel.

We use them both indoors and outdoors, and have a total of 9. 

An added benefit is that they fit perfectly into a 40cm wide Grow Bag tray (see below), so if used indoors it helps catch any spills.

You can use up to the full 40 pods, but we tend to leave a few empty for room, or to enable watering.

The width of the edges are just enough to put a label on.

Once the seedlings are ready to put into small pots, we will flip the top and bottom lids and use them for bottom watering.

100cm x 40cm and 6cm deep, these trays are perfect for grow bags, but other uses in the home and garden. 

We pop two heat matts and up to four seed trays at any one time.

The current set-up is two heat matts on a grow bag tray, with one thermostat in one of the pots or seed trays, using a plug splitter below, so that both matts are turned on or off at the same time.

For this set-up buy two Thermostat Combo Set, and one 10"x 20-2 Pack for around £65 as of January 2026.

Multi Plug Extension: Features 2 AC outlets and 3 USB ports

A maximum load of 3250W (250V, 13A), it's ideal for solving plug shortages in any room, or a great gardening setup!

Many alternatives are available, but this is the model we used, the USB feature was handy for a retrofitted set of old computer fans I've built...

We currently have two of these setup, the handy grip can be attached to a banister or desk type unit easily.

Powering in at 10 W this LED Full Spectrum Grow Light is pretty tight on the electric consumption too.

64 containers is more than enough for most gardeners, and it comes with stickers and tweezers.

Again, there are many to choose from, but this is the version we've used.

Results have been good so far.
