    Its a lot off faff potting on . I would pot straight into your cell trays . I would not go more than 15 cells to a tray . The mighty Wilkos do 3 for £1.25 15 cells , these should be ok two or three seasons with care . Some you order online are very thin plastic which are difficult to reuse.

      I plumped for the 15-cell trays in the end - 20 packs of 10, so 3000 plants worth assuming my maths is right.

      I'll post back when I get them regarding the quality :)

      Apologies for the poor quality of the picture, but if you look closely at the tray at the top of this image, that is the marigolds - petunias in the tray in front.
