Which Seed Tray is best for you?
What seed trays are out there and what are the pros and cons for all of them? Let’s dive into the world of seed trays and explain why one is “better” than the other.
Biggest differences
All seed trays are similar in that they can be used to start your own food or flowers from seeds. But there is a big difference in caring, time and longevity. Garden centers offer a weak seed tray that bends and breaks easily and only lasts two growing seasons. Biodegradable seed trays have a weakness in taking water from your seedlings and drying them out. If you want the ease of use, time-saving and 15 years of enjoyment, sturdy seed trays are your best choice.

Best overall performing Seed Tray
Our choice
There is always that one special version that is just an overall best performer. For our seed tray collection that’s definitely the 40-cell shallow seed tray. The seed tray has a big enough cell size to grow pretty much anything. But small enough cells so you can grow a lot in a small space.

Are the trays realy as sturdy as claimed?
We know it’s easy for us to say it’s the “best” seed tray in the EU. But we firmy believe in that statement. We haven’t found a proper seed tray from another company that comes close to what our seed trays can do. But, we do offer a full refund plus return shipping label, so feel free to try it out yourself.
What's so good about the seed tray?
The main features that make the seed tray so good is not that it’s sturdy. But the fact that it grows great seedlings. The shape of the cells promotes healthy root growth compared to rootbound seedlings.
How to water the seed trays?
The best advice we can give for watering any seedlings is from below. For this you can use our add-on the bottom water tray or any bin you have that fits the seedtrays. The advantage of using the bottom water tray is the fact that is helps with air pruning the seedlings, creating even stronger roots.
Where can I find more information?
If you are not yet convinced we employ you to take a look at the wide range of seed trays available and look at the possibilities!
Why Use A Seed Tray To Start Plants?
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.
Which seedtray should you get
Most importantly to know which seed tray you need is the questions “what would you like to grow”. If you know what you grow, we know what seed tray you need. Head over to our seed tray finder and search for what you want to grow!
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!
How to use a seed tray
Since growing in a seed tray is not always as easy, we’ve made a full masterclass on sowing that you can watch for free. Head over to our free course page to find more information.
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!
Seed tray with lid
Growing in seed trays becomes more fun and more successful when creating a controllable environment for your seedlings. For this, we have the Lid for the bottom water tray. Combine the two to create a mini greenhouse and grow even more successfully!
