Did you make sure to sterilise the propagator between batches?

Not tomato feed, not yet. A little very dilute epsom salts, perhaps, sprayed onto the leaves, and a touch of fish blood and bone to the growing medium, but not tomato feed. Tbh, I'd get a heated propagator, and start again.

AJ, I put my butts outside on a table and fed the 1/2" pipe in underneath the base. I've put the two connected butts (actually old style round dustbins,) towards corners of the table, in order to get the support of the legs, and have put in a tap which overhangs the the table, so that I can fit the timer between the tap and the piping. If circumstances preclude copying my method, then drilling through the base should be simple enough.

I grow the particular variety of raspberry you mention. Get them in quick and they'll fruit this year. If I were you, I'd sink 1.8m-2.4m stakes every 2 metres along your row, 0.5 metres fro your fence, and support the canes with wire at 0.5,-1m and 1.5m heights, as it is my view that they DO need support. They will spread, but the roots don't go very deep, so if you dig down 0.3m, close to your fence and put some solid plastic sheeting, like acrylic or pvc, along the row, that should

I'm on holiday, so I won't kill mine until I'm home next week... Seriously, I have found young cucumber plants to be temperamental in the past, and have lost quite a few. Tbh, it's probably warm enough on your kitchen windowsill, and if you've had sunshine on your cloches, there is every possibility that you have stewed the plants. You have plenty of time to try again, and what I'd do, is start the seed in 8cm pots, on their sides longways like this = C>, covered as before

Conbrue, I live in Cheadle Hulme, famous for its clay, and there are three brickworks in the area, and I'd say gypsum is your friend. I have also found compost tea to be extremely helpful in building soil structure, and since using wormcastings in my compost tea, I'd recommend a wormery.

They may even thank you. I've dug up a few runners and given them to neighbours, and they've been very grateful for the resulting fruit. Perhaps the best thing would be to ask if they'd be happy, and if not, keep them clear. It isn't so difficult. The fruit are delicious.

I note that your location is listed as Chichester, so you're not far from the sea. If you have access to seaweed, that's very helpful for its trace elements. I'd suggest that you also did a soil pH test. A probe/meter is inexpensive, and it may prove quite beneficial.
