Seedling plug tray measures 26cm wide, 31cm long, 5cm deep with each seedling plug sell measuring 2.7cms each way at the top, tapering down to 1cm width at the base, with a 5mm diameter circular drainage hole at the base of each seedling plug. The two base trays measure 27cms wide x 31cm long at their widest points. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qpskit-hero\"\u003eThis durable and professional quality seed raising system is made in Melbourne, Australia out of 100% recycled PP5 plastic, which is non-toxic, food-safe, long lasting and recyclable at PP5 drop off points. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qpskit-hero\"\u003eThese seed raising trays are an adaption of the full-sized 198 cell seedling plug trays, which are designed for professional large-scale nurseries. Unfortunately most seedling trays made small enough to be used by home growers and community gardeners are are thin, flimsy and designed to break so you'll buy more of them. That's the opposite of what we want. If you buy this once and never have to buy another one again, we'll have done our job well. Just return the favour by telling your friends and family about us!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qpskit-hero\"\u003eEach seedling plug tray has been re-sized by hand by our founder Christie Cooper so they're the perfect fit with the rest of our modular seed-raising and growing products, including the bottom watering tray and the drainage tray that come with this kit. Both layers are critical - the tray with holes ensures your soil drains well and minimises the risk of fungus gnat infestations (they breed in soil that's too wet) The base tray without holes catches the drips if growing indoors, and allows for bottom watering and bottom feeding if you're growing outdoors. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qpskit-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qpskit-highlight\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"big-line\"\u003eBest soil for seedling plug trays\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend using the Growing Healthier Futures seedling-plug soil mix with these trays.
