Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are the dimensions of each tray?

The exact dimensions are not provided in the product description, but they are designed to be a standard size for professional seed starting and are stackable.

Do these trays come with cell inserts?

No, these are general-purpose seed trays and do not include individual cell inserts. They are compatible with most standard cell inserts if you wish to use them.

Can I use these trays outdoors?

Yes, they can be used outdoors, but prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays might degrade the plastic over time. The black colour may also absorb more heat in direct sun.

Are the drainage holes large enough?

The drainage holes are designed to allow excess water to escape while preventing soil loss, promoting healthy root aeration.

How many seeds can I typically sow in one tray?

This depends on the seed type and desired spacing. The trays offer ample space for numerous small seeds or fewer larger ones, especially if using cell inserts.

What material are the trays made from?

The trays are made from a strong yet lightweight plastic, designed for durability in professional growing environments.

How should I store the trays when not in use?

Clean them thoroughly and store them in a dry, shaded location. They are stackable, making storage efficient.

Troubleshooting

Trays feel flimsy when full

Ensure the tray is placed on a flat, stable surface before filling and watering. Distribute weight evenly. For extremely heavy soil mixes, consider using a sturdier tray or adding reinforcing supports if necessary.

Waterlogging despite drainage holes

Verify that the drainage holes are not obstructed. Ensure the tray is not sitting in standing water in a larger tray or saucer. Adjust watering frequency based on environmental conditions.

Difficulty stacking trays securely

Ensure trays are clean and free of debris. Align the rims carefully when stacking. If stacking very high, use caution and ensure stability, especially with heavy loads.

Compatibility: The trays are compatible with most standard seed starting mixes, composts, and propagation mediums.
