- Mariel M.FL, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/29/25Durable and dependable
Thus tray works perfectly with the Epic seed starting cells, but also with trays from other companies and with small pots. I keep it outside 24-7 in zone 10a, Florida and it's still holding up after almost two years.

These trays are really heavy duty and work great for bottom watering or hardening off. I was wanting to purchase a few more for Black Friday 2025 but quantities of one was not available only 10 trays.
