Description
Four Independent Growing Sections on One Small Base
The Garland Fab 4 is a compact electric propagator sized for a windowsill or table, with four independent mini vented propagators on a single heated base. Each section is 17cm long by 10cm wide, so different seed varieties or cuttings can be started side by side without one dome's humidity affecting another.
Key Benefits
- 4 independent vented sections let you run different seed batches at once, each with its own lid
- 8W carbon fibre heated base lifts compost temperature by around 8°C above ambient
- Compact 38.5cm x 24cm footprint fits comfortably on a windowsill or small table
- Vented lids on each section give individual control over humidity as seedlings develop
- Economical to run — a low-wattage base suited to leaving on for the full germination period
A Warmer Start Without a Full-Size Unit
A cool windowsill or spare-room table often sits well below the temperature seeds need to germinate quickly, and a single shared propagator lid means one damp-loving batch can affect another. The Fab 4's four separate vented sections keep each sowing independent, while the heated base takes the chill off the compost to speed germination along.
How to Use
- Fill each of the four trays with moist compost or seed compost and sow or insert cuttings
- Fit the vented lids and place the unit on a level surface away from cold draughts
- Plug in — the 8W base is not thermostatically controlled and simply raises compost temperature by around 8°C above the room
- Open the vents as seedlings establish to reduce humidity and the risk of damping off
