Productinformation
The 60 cell seed tray, developed and used by Charles Dowding (CD60)
The CD60 seed tray, developed and used by Charles Dowding, is a 60-cell tray that allows you to start all your small seedlings indoors or in your greenhouse. It not only extends your growing season but also increases the germination rate, saves on seeds, and enables more efficient growth with limited space, ultimately leading to better results.
Charles Dowding’s growing methods and this plug or module tray are based on his more than 40 years of experience in gardening. Known for his renowned no-dig gardening approach and composting skills, he has now also developed the CD60 seed tray, which he personally prefers to use.
At Homeacres, Charles’ market garden, almost all vegetables are first sown in these CD60 seed trays, also referred to as module trays or plug trays.
The module tray cells feature large drainage holes, preventing soil from becoming overly soggy and making it incredibly easy to remove the plants. Additionally, the tray’s sturdy material allows for single-handed holding, leaving your other hand free for planting out your seedlings. Furthermore, the tray is made from recycled materials and is recyclable itself. For more information, read our blog about the trays.
A perfect addition to the cd60 is the green Bottom water tray
Why would you use the Charles Dowding module trays?
– Long-lasting with a life expectancy of 15+ years
– Sturdy and easy to hold with one hand
– Large holes to pop out seedlings with the Plugpopper
– Roots are air pruned to give you a perfectly rooted seedling, ready to transplant

Reviews
High quality product
I haven’t used the product yet but I look forward to 2024. I think this tray from Charles Dowdings design will make it much easier to start plants in our cold climate here in Sweden.
I like the CD60 the most
I used to transplant from a common seed tray before, where all plants grew in the same pot, but some seedlings did not survive. The CD60 is my favourite and the module tray allows the plants to grow just a bit more, and do so fast, that they grow great in the garden. It is great for anyone who grows veggies that are transplanted to their final place. It is easy to transplant, because the plants are easy to take out and you can hold the whole tray with one hand.
