Bootstrap Farmer 72 Cell Seed Starter Tray - Extra Strength Starting Trays for 1020 Planting Seedlings, Propagation, Germination Plug Station (5)

Comparison and 1st impressions:Bootstrap 72 cell tray - 300. 0 gramsJiffy tray (purchased at the big box store) - 89.3 grams. (Same size, same count)3.36 times heavier. Quality wise, the material of the BSF trays feels much better in quality than the Jiffy trays.Test fit to go inside a bootstrap 10x20 tray: fits perfectly.Cell dimensions:Top: 1-1/2"x1-1/2"Bottom: 7/8"x7/8"Depth: approx. 2-1/2"Drain hole: 1/4" diameterTest fit of the clear Jiffy humidity dome over the BSF seedling tray: fits as well as it did over their own trays (which isn't to say it's great, but good enough IMO and I'll continue to use the clear portion of the old set. Not sure how long they'll last. When they break, I'll replace with BSF humidity dome.Overall impressions:Trays shipped in cardboard box paper as packing around trays to prevent movement inside box. Trays arrived in perfect condition. No plastic other than the trays. Nothing that's not biodegradable to get rid of. It's all going into the worm bin.These trays are heavier in hand and far more substantial than anything I've seen before. They are not unbreakable, but I can't see how I would break these short of dropping something very heavy on them. Single larger drain hole in the bottom. Personally I wish the hole was large enough so I could use a finger to push seedlings out during transplanting. I may experiment and modify to suit me by increasing the hole size to 5/8".Another modification that I would like is if these 10x20 trays were divided into four sections of 18 as I find it easier to work with the smaller sections. These are though just personal preference.Overall, I highly recommend these. Save yourself the heartache of breaking the pricey cheap ones like I did after only a single season of use. These will likely outlast me and are definitely a better value in my opinion.

Nice and sturdy just like the ones greenhouses use.

These are the most heavy duty and durable seed starting trays I have ever put my hands on. They will last many years, I am so happy with this purchase! I have Johnny’s 1020 leakproof trays and they fit perfectly in them. I will definitely be buying more.

I am a beginner Gardner, and started out with the cheap and Flimsy multi cell trays. They would rock all over the place, and after a good amount of use would easily crack and leak, warp and shape. I finally put up some more investment to get these. I know they will last me a long time. They did their job and did it well, super stable, no damage, looks good as new after the first season. I am sure they will last for many seasons to come.

The sturdiness of these seed trays is amazing. Some trays I've bought crack before I get the tray loaded with potting soil then crack more when I try to move them. This brand is FANTASTIC. I expect them to last for many years.

The tray are as promised. They are thick enough to allow them to picked up with one hand without cracking. The price was reasonable for the quantity ordered. I might try Garden Supply next time if the price was lower or if they have the type that allows the roots to grow up inside the corners.

Wish i had bought these years ago. Great product!

I have seed trays that I bought from Gardeners Supply with larger cells that I have used for years for tomatoes and eggplant. I was looking for a similar product with smaller cells for flowers. These 72 cell trays are sturdy and a good size for flowers. They fit into my standard watering trays that I already had and the cells reach the bottom. (Some reviews said this was a problem and the company said they had changed the design and I can confirm that they did.) They look like they will last for a long time. I am happy at this point. Jury is out about how easy it will be to remove the seedlings. I will add to my review when I get to that point. Right now I am happy and think this is a superior product.
