Living Whole Foods 10 Plant Growing Trays 20 x 10 in Black with Drain Holes — Seedlings & Microgreens

These are a 10-pack of durable 20" x 10" tapered planting trays from Living Whole Foods with built-in drain holes, made for seed starting, microgreens, wheatgrass and hydroponic pads.

If you need reliable, reusable trays that fit standard hydroponic pads and give seedlings proper drainage, this set is built for repeated use in greenhouses, indoor grow stations, and home kitchens. Each tray is molded in sturdy black plastic and tapers from a slightly wider rim to a narrower base for easy stacking and handling. The drain holes prevent waterlogging while making these trays suitable for both soil-based and hydroponic cultivation.

How do these trays support both soil and hydroponic growing?

The trays are versatile: they hold soil and seed mixes or hydroponic pads like Sure to Grow and Micro-Mats without modification. Drain holes allow excess water to escape, reducing soggy roots and simplifying watering schedules for microgreens and wheatgrass.

• Works with 20" x 10" hydroponic pads and mat systems.
• Drain holes present to manage excess moisture and runoff.
• Tapered sides for easy stacking and better airflow under trays.
• Sturdy black plastic endures repeated use indoors or in greenhouses.

Will the dimensions fit my grow setup or shelving?

Each tray measures precisely to fit common racks and countertop stations. The top rim is slightly larger than the base so trays nest when stored, while the interior footprint accommodates many standard pad and tray inserts.

• Top (rim) length: 20.5 inches (522 mm); width: 10 1/8 inches (255 mm).
• Bottom (base) length: 19 7/8 inches (504 mm); width: 9 3/8 inches (238 mm).
• Depth: 2 3/8 inches (60 mm) for shallow-rooted seedlings and sprouts.
• Fits most 20" x 10" branded hydro pads and mat systems snugly.

How durable and reusable are these trays for multiple growing cycles?

Constructed from robust plastic, the trays resist warping and can be cleaned between uses for long service life. Their simple geometry makes rinsing and sanitizing quick, and the material tolerates repeated wet/dry cycles without losing shape.

• Made of thick black plastic designed for repeated indoor use.
• Easy to wash, drain, and dry between growing rounds.
• Stackable design reduces storage space when not in use.
• Ten trays give enough capacity for rotation of crops or multiple stations.

What practical advantages do drain holes provide for home growers?

Drain holes help prevent standing water, which improves oxygen availability to seeds and roots and reduces the need for careful hand-watering. For hydroponic setups, holes allow overflow to be collected in a reservoir or secondary tray, simplifying maintenance.

• Makes watering less precise—excess drains away instead of pooling.
• Allows use as a drip tray or to channel runoff into a catch basin.
• Reduces risk of overwatering for sensitive seedlings and sprouts.
• Compatible with hydroponic overflow and wick systems when paired with a reservoir.

Who is this for: Gardeners, urban growers, educators, and small-scale producers who need a reliable set of trays for starting seeds, producing microgreens, or running small hydroponic experiments. The 10-pack gives enough trays for crop rotation, classroom projects, or multiple home stations, and the precise measurements make it easy to plan layouts with branded hydro pads or custom growing media.
