I bought these to hold my paper seedling cups. A tray holds about 30 of those and you can water your seedlings without watering everything else around them. They also fit in my 2 tier grow light unit.

This large, solid tray served me well during its first season in my garden. It is good for bottom watering, moving a group planted pots to where they need to be, and for general garden uses. It is such a good product, I believe it will keep "doing its thing" for many years.
