Why use a seed tray

There are many reasons to use a seed tray, but for us the most important reason is more control when starting plants. We no longer have to deal with pests and animals in the early stages of growing. Also using seedtrays we can create the best growing condition for the plant. As an example we start most of our plants in the attic instead of outside.

When to water seed trays

Watering your seed trays depends on the stage of your plants. Water once very thorough when planting the seeds and don’t water again untill the seeds have germinated. Once germinated it’s good to water again if the compost looks dry.

How do you know when to water? Lift up the seed tray. A tray filled with moist compost ways way more than a tray with dry compost. Also, look at the compost and your plants. They are the best indicator for water needs. Are the leaves hanging? They need water!

Where to buy cheap seed trays

Buying cheap seed trays can be done on our website. Just buy any of the sturdy seed trays we provide. They are a bigger investment to start, but since they last 15 years they are way cheaper over time. Usually a sloppy seed trays lasts about one to two years. Let’s say it’s two years and the price is €1,- (which is cheap) in 15 years time you will spend the same ammount as for our trays but you won’t have all the growing benefits, ease of use and the time saving!
