Growing Guide > Rootrainer Specifics > Top Tips Top Tips Rootrainers are so easy to use and make seed sowing a pleasure. You can even check your watering and how the roots are doing.  Just open the Rootrainer books, check, and re-close.  But – a little hint!  Don’t open them until the plant is reasonably established and the roots have hit the side; otherwise you may just be pulling the soil away from the roots and weakening the strength of the plug. If you prepare the ground well and place in plants with a five-inch deep mature root system, little should go wrong.  Plants suffer no check and are deep enough to withstand most vagaries of weather.  Many growers take short holidays at all times of the year; they want a root structure that is robust and strong enough not to require constant care and attention when they are away.  Rootrainers can help meet that demand. There is also a full list of the short growing tips.
