Sweet peas dislike root disturbance and you can give them the best start in life by sowing in these unique re-usable and 'openable' cells. 12cm/4.75in long, they encourage deep root production. The cells come in sets of four, and eight sets/32 cells fit in each of the special trays provided. When ready to transplant, simply 'click' the cells open to reveal well rooted plants which can be prised out and planted with minimum disturbance. Brillant!
