Full details

The Containerwise Charles Dowding No Dig Propagation Tray is an essential tool for dedicated home gardeners and professional growers who prioritize plant health and efficient seed starting. This 60-cell tray is designed for long-term use and consistent results, though its compact cell size means it is better suited for starting small seeds or initial propagation rather than long-term growth of large vegetable transplants.

FAQs

Are these trays dishwasher safe?

While the material is durable, we recommend hand washing with warm soapy water to extend the life of the plastic.

Can I use these for indoor growing?

Yes, they are ideal for indoor use, provided you have a tray underneath to catch any water runoff from the drainage holes.

What is the material composition?

The trays are made from high-quality, long-life, UV-stabilized plastic designed to withstand repeated use.

Will these fit in a standard seed tray carrier?

With dimensions of 350mm x 210mm, they fit into most standard professional-sized seed tray carriers.

Can I use these for direct sowing in the garden?

These are primarily designed for propagation. While you can place them outdoors, they are meant for starting seeds in a controlled environment.

Troubleshooting

Seedlings are difficult to remove.

Ensure the soil is moist before attempting extraction; tap the bottom of the cell gently to loosen the root ball.

Soil falling through drainage holes.

Use a slightly coarser potting mix or a thin layer of horticultural grit at the base of each cell before adding finer compost.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable material for multi-season use
  • Generous 14mm drainage holes promote root aeration
  • Compact form factor saves valuable shelf or windowsill space
  • Professional-grade design inspired by no-dig gardening methods

Cons

  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain long-term usability
  • Cell size may restrict the time seedlings can remain before transplanting
  • Not intended for large, deep-rooted species

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, fill the cells with a fine-grade, moist seed-starting mix. Because the tray is made of high-quality, durable plastic, it can be reused indefinitely if cared for correctly. To maintain the tray, wash it with warm, soapy water after each growing cycle. If you are starting seeds early in the season, this tray is fully compatible with standard seedling heat mats and humidity domes. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these may degrade the material over time.
