This guide is for gardeners looking to start larger seeds, trees, shrubs, or substantial vegetable seedlings. The Nutley's Extra Large Root Growers offer a sturdy, reusable solution for robust plant starts, with the main caveat being that cell size varies across the different tray options. These trays feature multiple cells, drainage holes, and are constructed from durable, high-quality plastic, making them easy to clean and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use across multiple seasons.

Each tray measures approximately 52cm (20.5 inches) in length and 29cm (11.4 inches) in width.
Yes, the durable plastic construction makes them suitable for use with heated propagators, provided the propagator's dimensions are compatible.
Ensure the trays are on a level surface. If planting very large seeds or seedlings, avoid overfilling the cells with soil to maintain stability.
Confirm that the drainage holes are not blocked. Ensure you are not overwatering; allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Water the cells gently before attempting to remove seedlings to moisten the soil and aid in separation. Gently push from the bottom of the cell if possible, or carefully use a dibber or small trowel around the edges.
Thoroughly clean the trays with a mild bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) and rinse well. Ensure trays are completely dry before reuse and store in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply fill the cells with your preferred seed starting mix, sow your seeds or plant your cuttings according to their specific requirements, and water gently.
Compatibility: These trays are compatible with most standard seed starting soils and composts. They are designed for use with Nutley's Kitchen Gardens seed products and are suitable for most greenhouse, cold frame, and windowsill setups.
Care: To ensure longevity and reusability, it is recommended to wash the trays carefully after each use. Use a soft brush or sponge with mild soapy water to remove soil and debris. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before storing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could scratch the plastic.
