What are these trays made from?

What are the dimensions of each tray?
Each tray measures approximately 5cm (Height) x 23.5cm (Width) x 37cm (Length).
Can I stack these trays on top of each other?
Yes, they feature a stackable design that prevents soil or seed disturbance when stacked.
Are these trays suitable for mature plants?
These trays are primarily designed for seed starting and early seedling growth. For mature plants, larger pots or containers are recommended.
How many trays come in a pack?

Where are these trays manufactured?

Can I use these trays with capillary matting?

Troubleshooting
Trays feel flimsy.
Ensure trays are placed on a flat, stable surface. The design prioritizes stackability and soil disturbance prevention over extreme rigidity when empty.
Seeds are not germinating well.
Verify that the compost is kept consistently moist and at the appropriate temperature for the specific seeds being sown. Ensure trays are receiving adequate light (or darkness, depending on seed requirements).
Difficulty stacking trays securely.
Make sure there is no soil or debris interfering with the stacking rims. Ensure you are attempting to stack trays of the same model and size.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Eco-friendly, made from recycled and recyclable materials.
- Stackable design saves space and prevents soil disturbance.
- Facilitates professional-level seed growing at home.
- Durable construction ensures longevity.
- Generous 5-pack quantity for starting multiple plants.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trays require no assembly. Simply fill them with your chosen seed compost and sow your seeds. For best results, place them on a stable, level surface, such as a greenhouse bench or windowsill.
Compatibility: The GARLAND W0004 trays are designed to be compatible with standard seed-starting practices. They work well with propagation heat mats and grow lights. While they are stackable with other trays of the same dimensions, compatibility with other brands' trays is not guaranteed.
Care: To ensure longevity and prevent disease, clean the trays thoroughly after each use. Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry completely before storing. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the plastic surface.
