Got greeenhouse outside, weighted down, and (thanks to Dave), attached to the wall.
Found propagators to go in it.
Got seeds.
Found bag of seed compost in shed.
Put seed compost in propagator cells, applied water. Watched as water sat on the surface of bone-dry dust-like seed compost and totally refused to soak in :(
Have left the things sitting in water both top and bottom. Will plant seeds in the morning, if it behaves: or may take the whole lot out, put it in a mixing bowl, and INSIST that it gets wet in an even manner!
