Separating seedlings

[stefan m.]

So, probably the dumbest question i could ever ask, but , when growing seeds, in one tray, how do i separate them when sowing...
And no, getting another tray is not an answer, ill have to save up on space.
Im thiking slate pieces, but probably not a good idea.

I used to put small metal sticks from an old umbrella to separate the species.

I wanna use something that doesnt rot.... or rust or whatever. Put a piece of the cactus mix(locally sold) package as a borderline, think it reacted with the humidity and resulted in poor germination for some species, or seeds near the border.

Those metal strips are aluminum and don't rust and are perfectly inert

I dont have those to spare, and too big to fit in the trays I use.

I use strips from a plastic A4-document binder cut to suitable sizes

Think i have those to spare. Yup, just checked. Funny story is that theyre somehow smaller than a4.
