How do you use microgreen trays?

Fill trays with growing media, seed densely, and place under lights. Water from above with a mister or from below using a no-hole tray underneath. 

What size are microgreen trays?

“1020 trays” measure about 10" x 20" (see exact dimensions above). We also carry 1010 trays and 5x5 trays for small-batch growing.

Can you reuse microgreen trays?

Yes! These heavy-duty trays can be hosed off, sanitized, and even run through the dishwasher (without heated dry). 

Can you reuse growing media?

Most growing media should not be reused for microgreens due to mold risk. For ideas on recycling used media, read: Reusing Spent Trays of Microgreens.

Can I grow microgreens at home?

Absolutely! Even a countertop or windowsill can fit a tray or two. A small 2’ x 4’ shelving unit with LED strip grow lights can hold up to 20 trays, perfect for year-round growing.
