Growing your own plants from seeds and cuttings is vital if you’re to keep your garden growing and cost-effective but you’ll need good propagation tools.

Here, outdoor glove and footwear specialist Town & Country gives us a glimpse of some of its new products to make growing your own and overwintering even easier. For more information about growing plants from seed, visit my page on using propagators. Learn about growing from cuttings here.

Electric greenhouse heaters

A warm, dry greenhouse is essential to overwinter tender plants during the cold winter months. Successful overwintering will allow you to grow mature specimens – and save money by not having to replace half-hardy or tender perennials every year.

Town & Country’s thermostat-controlled Electric Greenhouse Heater maintains the optimum temperature to prevent frost and only switches on when necessary to increase energy efficiency. Available in 2KW or 3KW models, price £69.99 – £89.99.

A good, basic potting tray is a valuable propagation tool and one of the first things to buy when you’re a beginner. To help with mess-free propagation, the Town & Country Potting Tray with Shelf (price £12.99) has a wide-open front for easy access. It also has a sturdy integrated shelf and a handy trowel holder that can store pots neatly.

It’s essential to get soil or compost to a fine tilth before sowing seeds. Town & Country’s lightweight, 35cm wide Garden Sieve (price £3.99) removes large lumps, weeds, and stones from the soil, creating a fine tilth for repotting.
