Yes, you can put seeds straight into soil, but it is often best to start them in a pot or tray first. This gives them a chance to germinate and grow before being transplanted into the ground. It also allows you to control the conditions they are growing in, such as the temperature and moisture levels.
Yes, you can use egg cartons as seedling trays. Egg cartons are an inexpensive option for starting your seeds, and they can be easily recycled when you're finished. Just make sure to poke a few drainage holes in the bottom of each compartment before you plant.
Seed trays need drainage holes to allow water to drain out of the bottom of the tray. This prevents the roots of the plants from sitting in water, which can lead to root rot.
No, seedlings do not need darkness. They need light to grow. However, they also need darkness to rest.

Bootstrap Farmer's trays aren't even appropriate for the same conversation as typical 10/20 trays. The Bootstrap Farmer 10/20 tray is obviously made for farmers who want to utilize trays for more than just a few times. In this image, there are two trays that were bought at the same time and have each been used four times. A "regular 10/20" tray from a different vendor costs around 25% less than Bootstrap's tray in the tray on the left. The less expensive tray, however, already has a crack after four usage. Standard 10/20 trays crack fairly easily, and you're lucky to get a full season out of one, according to everyone who has used one. However, the Bootstrap tray should last us for a few years of constant use (we are an indoor farm so we use them 365 days a year). The Bootstrap trays are considerably more cost-effective to buy when we do the math because of their superior design, durability, and robustness. Spend a little more now to avoid headaches and extra expenses in the future.

These seed trays with domes are a great investment. You can fit them into tight locations, start fewer batches of seeds, and maintain various climate conditions for several groups of seedlings because to their diminutive size.Using a laundry cart as a frame for these little greenhouses is both affordable and practical. The Honey-Can-Do 3-Tier Laundry Cart has three shelves that can hold three trays each. Six of the black inserts will fit into a 1020 tray if you have room for a more conventional layout. I have my succulent propagation setup like this, and I house African violet propagation in separate 2.5" pots using the leftover trays and domes.I've been using these for a year or so now. I'm still content with them a lot. They have served as drip trays, carry trays for other pots, little baskets for trimmings, and many more purposes for me. They have been thrown around, filled with stones, bleached, exposed to the outdoors, sprayed with a garden hose on "jet," washed, bleached, and generally mistreated carelessly. I've used the inserts to store long fiber sphagnum moss, coco coir mixes, and soilless potting mixtures with a peat base.Only one cell insert has cracked (albeit others are discolored) out of the 30 tray cell dome combinations, and only three of the white plastic trays have developed holes in the corners. The cell inserts don't really matter. The inserts are relatively simple to replace because they are standardized to fit in a 10x20 tray, are sold in hardware stores in the spring, and are available online all year long.Of course, the biggest loss is the trays. Except for usage as bottom-watering reservoirs, the ones with holes can still be used for anything. I might apply a tiny dab of silicone caulking to two of the three to see if that repairs the pinprick holes. The third one is in worse shape. The trays' weak point is unquestionably their corners. They are gradually getting thinner, I can see. This shouldn't be a problem at all if you utilize these the way they were designed. I'm repeatedly sliding the trays across uneven floors while they are filled with heavy pots and cramming them into tight spaces, all the while compressing the edges of the plastic to wear it down.

Four of my trays are currently in use. I've only recently planted the seeds, therefore I haven't received any harvest yet. Once I have seedlings, I'll update to let you know how they're doing.The containers themselves are more durable than my last starter tray (of the Jiffy brand), which never got used since it severely warped after one day in the sun. Because they were covered and exposed to sunshine within the greenhouse, these containers barely slightly shrank. Still entirely functional. I relocated them to a shaded shelf to lessen the possibility of damage, but I intend to return them to the top shelf once the lids are no longer required.The translucent trays are fantastic. The humidity controls are also nice. In order to boost the number of plants in my greenhouse, I chose to purchase these after earlier in the month when I inquired about them for the greenhouse.These should be used either in a shady area of the greenhouse, on a shelf outside, or in a plant room indoors, in my opinion. Avoid placing them in full sunlight inside a greenhouse since the dome will magnify the rays through the glass and could cause the pot cells to shrink. If you must keep them in a bright area of the greenhouse, cover them, or cover the greenhouse with a decent shade cloth to lessen direct sunlight's impact on the domes.Update (June 10th 2019) (June 10th 2019)With these trays, I have more luck beginning seedlings than I did with ordinary pots. Here are two images of my cucumber seedlings that were taken precisely one day apart. Since the first seedling sprouted just two days ago, we're already at the stage where transplanting will soon be necessary.Again, I'd heartily endorse these trays.

Even though these starter pots were much smaller than I had anticipated, they were perfect for starting seeds within. I had never grown plants from seed before, but my creations were really gorgeous. These six pack pots were placed in a tall tray, filled with dirt, and seeds were then planted. Then, until everything grew, I made sure the tray was never dry. After that, I gave the seedlings a little water every day until I planted them.It was simple to transplant, and the plants simply slipped out of these pots without having their roots disturbed.I'll buy once more for the following growing season.

Even though I've read the negative reviews, I have to admit that I am really happy with my purchase. I got the brush, the magnifying card, TWO pairs of scissors—one curved and one straight—and the tray is bigger than I had anticipated. It is constructed of good quality plastic that is flexible but not flimsy. Actually, I prefer the scissors to my Fiskars. Overall, the $50 was absolutely worthwhile. I've only recently begun trimming my first batch, and this tray is great. I can use it perfectly at my kitchen table. The screen is firmly attached to the top tray and isn't extremely tightly fitting, but it really shouldn't be. All of the kief is collected in the bottom tray, which can simply be brushed into a pile and placed in a container using the card. Everything can be cleaned up pretty quickly. If there is anything more out there, I'm not sure I need it. Works for me, like I said.

Works great, although they tend to fly over a little easily in the wind, so if you don't store them in trays, you'll need to keep an eye on them or put them somewhere safe.I put them in the lids of my cat litter bins because they are a little tricky to balance on wire shelving. Any flat surface will do, but the lid serves as a "tray" to collect extra water, allowing the soil to gently absorb it and lowering the number or frequency of waterings required. In an emergency, I've lined my wire shelf with a bendable, plastic barrier that I can cut to size and shape called Houseables Safety Fence, Snow Fencing, Deer Netting, Single, Green, 4 x 100' Feet, Above Ground, Mesh, Temporary, Plastic Barrier, For Kids, Swimming Pool, Silt, Garden, Lawn, Rabbits, Poultry, Dogs.They fit in the typical seed trays that are available at stores like Walmart, etc. Although the scored bottom of these cells tends to break and lose its shape after a few plantings, it will still work to remove seedlings by pressing the bottoms of the cells; however, considering the cost, it is probably worthwhile to use them.For the price and intended use, I would still suggest these seedling starter trays. Please click 'useful' if it was.

The subject of whether or not these seed plant trays are sturdy is one that many people wonder. I've bought these trays from several different places over the years, and there aren't many differences in how they were made. They are still the best trays I have discovered for utilizing a heat mat to germinate pepper and tomato seeds, despite being flexible and to some people appearing fragile. There are more sophisticated and pricey trays available, however they frequently have nobs on the bottom that prevent the tray bottom from lying flat on a heat mat. My suggestion is to combine two of these less expensive trays to give them some stability. For a modest investment, you can use a heat mat to increase their efficiency even further. Visit your preferred hardware store and buy a tiny tube of quarter-size washers and silicone sealer. Place six of the washers evenly spaced within the first tray's bottom and seal them with silicone. After that, place some more silicone on top of the washers in the first tray and insert and fasten the second tray. Run a bead around the exterior lips of the two trays once they are firmly joined to seal the annular or air space between them. The heat transfer from the heat mat to the bottom of the linked trays will be more consistent thanks to the trapped air space. Just keep in mind that these seed trays are constructed of the same plastic as milk cartons and should be changed, depending on usage, every other season. The same is true for heat mats, which lose their heating capacity after a few seasons.
Yes, seeds need sunlight to germinate. The process of germination is started by the absorption of water by the seed, which triggers the release of enzymes that begin breaking down stored food in the seed into usable nutrients. The seed also starts to grow a small root and shoot. Once the shoot grows tall enough to break through the soil surface, it starts to photosynthesize and produce its own food.
Seed trays should be deep enough to accommodate the roots of the seedlings. The average depth of a seed tray is 6 to 8 inches.
To make a seed germination tray, you will need the following materials: a recycled plastic clamshell container, a piece of fabric or paper towel, potting soil, and seeds. First, make sure the clamshell container is clean and dry. Next, cut a piece of fabric or paper towel to fit snugly inside the bottom of the container. Then, fill the container with potting soil, leaving enough room at the top for the seeds. Finally, plant the seeds in the soil and water them lightly. Place the seed germination tray in a warm, sunny spot
To prevent mold when starting seeds, it is important to use sterile seed-starting mix and to keep the mix moist but not wet. It is also important to provide good air circulation by using a fan or ventilator. Finally, it is important to monitor the seeds closely and to discard any that show signs of mold.
It can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks for germinated seeds to sprout. The time frame depends on the type of seed, the growing conditions, and the care given to the seeds.
Peat pots are a type of container made from compressed peat moss. They are commonly used to start plants from seed. Peat pots are biodegradable and can be planted directly in the ground. Seedlings can stay in peat pots for several weeks or months. Once the seedlings have outgrown the pots, they can be transplanted into larger pots or into the ground. Peat pots are an easy and convenient way to start plants from seed.
