    Durable 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.

    Really nice

    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.

    love how sturdy it is. It makes moving full trays of seedlings a breeze without bending. Also love that it is so flat I can use for soil blocks. So happy with mine!
