FAQ
Q: Are the trays recyclable?
A: They are made from recycled, UV-resistant American plastic, but because our trays are super strong and reusable, you can use them season after season instead of recycling them.
Q: Can I mix and match the trays and pots?
A: Yes, our Epic trays, domes, pots, and heat mats all work together so you can build your ideal gardening setup.
Q: How long will my trays last with regular use?
A: Epic Universal Bottom Trays are rigid, yet flexible. They’re practically unbreakable and should last you a lifetime.
Q: How do I clean my trays between plantings?
A: We recommend hand-washing with hot, soapy water as the best way to keep the material in good shape for years of use. A good dish detergent should sterilize the trays enough to protect your seedlings.
