    Fruit Cages - can anyone please suggest a well made, robust cage?

    I have a wooden cage as described for my cabbage etc, plus a metal frame one from Knowle nets but if I was buying now I would go for Harrod though they are not cheap.

    Heat mat recomendations

    I'm just wondering if you might be a bit early, germination is the easy bit at this time of year, growing on afterwards is often the problem if you are restricted for heated space.
