The Stretcher Frame opens and stretches a compressed Paper Chain Pot so it can be placed into a germination tray and filled with soil for seeding.
The Opening Rods hold the stretched Paper Chain Pot open while it is positioned in the germination tray. They work with the Stretcher Frame as part of the chain-opening process.
