SHEING Seed Sprouter Germination Tray 5 Pack, BPA Free Nursery Healthy Wheatgrass Seeds Grower & Storage Trays for Garden Home Office

These trays are very useful for growing both sprouts and micro greens. For both, I suggest using the available germination papers, and for sprouts, soaking the seeds overnight helps the seeds to germinate more quickly. In my first picture is a crop of micro greens. I used coconut coir as a growing medium, and used a germination paper to prevent the growing medium from falling through the holes in the top tray. For both sprouts and micro greens, I cover the tray of seeds with germination papers until the seeds have germinated.These trays allow for bottom watering, and also catch excess water if you over water. Whether you use a growing medium or not, the germination papers allow the roots of the plants to reach into the bottom tray for water they need.Since I have a small greenhouse, I opted not to buy the available stand. The greenhouse is much more versatile and much easier to attach grow lights for the plants.UPDATE 08/04/19:The 4th and 5th pictures show a crop of micro greens I started using a sprouting seed mix. The 1st and 2nd pictures show them less than 3 weeks ago shortly after I planted them in a coconut coir on top of a germination paper. I have already harvested from this crop more than 6 times for 3 salads each time, and they continue growing. Since micro greens contain 3-4 times the nutrients of the full grown veggies, they are an excellent addition for salads or even to use in soups. You can easily grow micro green using sprouting seeds or any other veggie seeds. You just harvest them while they are small to get the extra nutrients.UPDATE 08/14/19:The last picture of my micro greens was taken 10 days after the previous picture. I have already harvested them multiple times for 3 salads each time, and they are still happily growing. These micro green are lasting so much longer than the sprouts I have grown from the same seeds. I do love when crops last for a long time, and am very happy with the results I am seeing with growing micro greens using this tray. I would definitely recommend this set of trays for growing micro greens.UPDATE 10/20/19:I have been keeping 2-3 of these trays growing micro greens since I got them. So far, I have grown a couple of different seed mixes, broccoli, and most recently wheat grass that I add to smoothies. Each crop has lasted 4-6 weeks with multiple harvests. So far, the wheat grass has been the most prolific. It has been growing about 4 weeks and continues to grow faster than I can use it. I have added a picture of the wheat grass which some of it is almost 12 inches tall.For all of the micro greens, I use coconut coir as a growing medium with a germination paper under the medium. I have a couple different types of containers I have used for sprouting. Cleaning them has always been a chore since the roots get stuck in the holes of the sprouters and it's tedious to clean all of the out. Even though the roots of the plants go through the holes in these trays, they wipe out with very little effort. By using the germination papers, the growing medium pours out with the paper leaving no yucky mess in the tray. Needless to say, I would definitely recommend these trays for sprouts and micro greens.I hope this review was helpful for you and I will update the review if my opinion changes.

Very easy to use self-explanatory for sure

I couldn't figure out how to use these for a while, then learned of sunflower microgreens. The holes are too large for alfalfa and other small seeds unless you use a base growing medium. I do not use any growing medium for sunflower or pea shoots. This helps reduce the chances of mold. They come out lovely!

These work great for growing wheat grass. I have grown wheat grass for years with shallow rubbermaid pans & an inch of potting soil. Finally, decided to try just growing the seeds in water so I got these trays. They work great! My only complaint is I've yet to find a convenient way to hold the top try in one hand and dump the water out of the bottom. Once the seeds sprout and grass begins to grow the top try gets fairly heavy and the tray is so large and the handle is so small it doesn't give me enough room to balance the tray well and I can't just set it on the counter because I'm worried it will damage the root system. It makes me wish the handles were larger or deeper or the tray was thick enough to support the weight without sagging...or even is it had a stand or 4 points that came down on the corners to elevate it while it's not in the bottom tray. If they had foreseen & resolved this issue it would be absolutely perfect in my opinion. Otherwise it's a fine option with just only this small annoyance each day when I'm dumping out and changing the water.

These treys are in the optimal size for personal growers. The fact that they stack on top of each other is very helpful in terms of storage and handling. Very good value for money.

Cheaply made. You can't use all seeds in them. You can only use seeds that won't fall through the mesh. Not even water levels. The bottom bows in the middle so the water sits on the sides.

well I'm just now setting out to use, but I'd like to say for the wheat grass seed I have the holes are not too big, the seeds do not fall through, so I'm happy so far, seem sturdy, very excited to see if this method will a. not allow seeds to get moldy, and 2. prevent my cat from yanking up the whole plant like she's done with smaller less broad jars ive grown from so we will see, but neither of those factors effect this product, so, so far so good, will update if any problems. and yes I noticed I said a. and 2. lol. I could correct but what's the fun in that...

I love them. they are awesome. I use them for micro greens and put soil in them but them only pat that sucks is when you use them all I don’t have a extra bottom to put on top for weight and cover

Works as advertised, nice and sturdy. I use bamboo diaper liners for small seeds and they work perfectly

The items came damaged and broken.

I like this product. I received product more than my expectation...the product is very big and high quality one...the price is worthyand ease of use,ease of cleaning and apperance is very good.seller is very good..

Very affordable. Arrived in great packaging and in good time. Very happy!

I am growing micro-greens so these are a great addition to what I've got.They fit our little greenhouse nicely and the trays are pretty solid with no bending like my last trays.DON"T use aluminum trays, that draws nasty chemicals (leeches) into the soil.And these are BPH free and I have lined them with parchment paper as well.I'm very happy with these and will order a few more once my little micro farm gets going!
