Why use a seed tray?

Start sowing months ahead and extend your growing season with ease. Sowing seeds in seed trays instead of directly in the ground greatly improves your gardening success by giving you more control over germination conditions, free from slugs, snails, and heavy rain.

By starting in a greenhouse or indoors, you can add at least two months to your growing season. Our tray’s compatibility with various gardening tools ensures your plants get the best start, no matter the season.

Why Choose the 40-Cell Module Tray?
  • Exceptional Durability: Tired of constantly replacing your seed trays? Our sturdy 40-cell tray is built to last up to an impressive 15 years. Invest in a tray that will grow with you and save you time, money, and hassle.
  • Versatile Growing Options: Whether you’re sowing beautiful flowers, nutritious veggies, or fresh herbs, the 4-centimeter cells provide ample space for a variety of seeds. Fill them with nutrient-rich compost to kickstart the growth of just about any seed you can think of.
  • Optimal Moisture Retention: Thanks to the larger cells, your compost holds onto moisture longer than in smaller cells. This means less frequent watering and healthier seedlings. Most seedlings thrive in this tray and can be planted directly in your garden without needing to transplant into bigger pots.
  • Extend Your Growing Season: Module trays, also known as plug trays, are fantastic for extending your growing season. Start sowing months ahead of direct sowing and enjoy the benefits of a longer growing period. Living in The Netherlands, we’ve found that using these trays allows us to grow vegetables and flowers that would otherwise be challenging to cultivate successfully.
  • Controlled Germination Conditions: By starting your seedlings indoors, you have complete control over the germination environment. This protects your plants from pests like slugs and snails and shields them from heavy rain, greatly improving your gardening success.
  • Ease of Hardening Off: When transitioning your indoor-grown seedlings to the garden, remember to harden them off. This process helps your plants adjust to outdoor conditions, ensuring a smoother transition and stronger growth. Moving sturdy trays indoors and outdoors is much easier than other trays or individual pots.

Combine the 40 cell tray with the green base trays for botom watering. Or take your seed sowing to the next level with the transparant lid to create a propagator. Create the perfect growing conditions for your seedlings.

What to sow in this tray

The 40-cell shallow tray is ideal for sowing your root and tuber crops. Think about beetroot and onions.

With that being said, it is our favorite tray to grow a lot of plants. The cell size creates easy-to-handly plugs and has enough compost so the plug won't dry out easily.

Growing list:

Vegetables

  • Beetroot
  • Onion
  • Shallots
  • Leeks
  • Chinese cabbage
  • Lettuce head
  • Radish
  • Beets
  • Kale

Flowers

  • Rudbeckia
  • Phlox
  • Chinese aster
  • Scabiosa

  • Strawflower
  • Snapdragons
  • Limonium
  • Bells of ireland
  • Cronflower
  • Tobacco
  • Feverfew
  • Penstemon
  • Geum
  • Bepleurum

Please note: you can start any seed in any tray, but this list show you plants that thrive in this cell size. Perfect growing conditions result in strong and resilliant seedlings.

Pros and cons

According to our gardening experts

  • Can grow almost all vegetables to a nice size
  • Requires little compost
  • Easy to handle due to the size and total weight when filled with seedlings
  • Not suitable for larger plants like tomatoes, for that you can use the 15 cells

My personal favorite growing tray. It's versatile and can grow almost every vegetable.

The smaller cells make sure there is not too much compost needed, but at the same time, there is enough to ensure the compost won't dry out.

Perfection

I find the product to be just perfect, from the quality to the small details for healthy seedlings. I feel like this product would last me a lifetime as they are so sturdy and heavy duty. The bottom watering is also something that I am extremely happy about as it provides the necessary moisture and will never over water by bottom watering. The spines on the inside of the cells allow for the roots to shoot down rather than spiral around which could lead to issues if not addressed, so they have thought about everything. Very happy with the product.
