I wonder if it would work with winter sowing?


I successfuly used snails to grow red and green cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and leeks. They were transplanted direct from the snails into the garden. I shall take a recent picture of what they look like now.

Ooops! After seeing Williams post I just realised that he was referring to early sowing as opposed to winter veg! Thanks for not rubbing my nose in it!
That's a really good idea. I overwinter my mango seedlings in water bottle greenhouses so that's another use for my stash of 8L bottles.
