The Haxnicks Bamboo Seed Tray is a reusable, biodegradable propagation tray made from sustainable bamboo fibre, rice starch and resin derived from naturally occurring organic compounds. Measuring 37 x 21 x 5.5cm, it provides a practical alternative to conventional plastic seed trays for seed sowing, raising seedlings and growing microgreens.
Designed for repeated use, this sage green seed tray combines the convenience of a traditional propagation tray with materials that can be composted at the end of their useful life. Haxnicks states that its bamboo seed trays are designed to last for five years or more under normal use, making them a long-term alternative to disposable propagation products.
One of the tray's most useful features is its optional drainage system. The base is supplied without open drainage holes, allowing it to retain water for indoor growing and bottom watering. When drainage is required, the pre-marked holes can be pushed out using the tip of a garden trowel.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor growing, the Haxnicks Bamboo Seed Tray is particularly useful for gardeners, propagation enthusiasts and growers looking to reduce their reliance on petroleum-based plastic products.
Why choose the Haxnicks Bamboo Seed Tray?
- Sustainable bamboo-based construction - manufactured using bamboo fibre, rice starch and resin derived from naturally occurring organic compounds.
- Reusable for 5+ years - designed for repeated growing seasons rather than single-use propagation.
- Biodegradable and compostable - can be broken down in a suitable composting environment at the end of its useful life.
- Free from petroleum-based plastics and BPA - an alternative to conventional plastic seed trays.
- Optional drainage holes - supplied with a solid base and pre-marked sections that can be pushed out when drainage is required.
- Versatile 37 x 21 x 5.5cm format - suitable for seed sowing, propagation and growing microgreens.
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use - ideal for windowsills, greenhouses, garden growing areas and propagation benches.
- Compatible with Haxnicks Microgreens Growing Mats - provides a convenient tray for soil-free microgreen cultivation.
- Attractive sage green finish - a practical and distinctive alternative to traditional black plastic propagation trays.
- Home compostable at end of life - Haxnicks advises breaking the tray into smaller pieces to assist decomposition.
Made from sustainable bamboo-based materials
The Haxnicks Bamboo Seed Tray forms part of the manufacturer's range of sustainable gardening products, developed to provide alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastic pots and propagation accessories.
The tray is manufactured from a combination of:
- Bamboo fibre - a plant-derived material sourced from a rapidly growing renewable resource.
- Rice starch - a plant-based component used within the composite material.
- Resin derived from naturally occurring organic compounds - used to bind the materials together and form the finished tray.
The resulting material is free from petroleum-based plastics and BPA. Unlike disposable fibre propagation containers intended to break down quickly, the Haxnicks tray is designed to remain in use for multiple growing seasons before being composted.
This combination of durability and compostability makes it particularly appealing to growers who want to reduce single-use plastic consumption without replacing their seed trays after every crop.
Optional drainage holes for flexible watering
One of the distinguishing features of the Haxnicks Bamboo Seed Tray is its adaptable drainage system.
The tray is supplied without open drainage holes. This allows it to retain water when used indoors, beneath pots or with suitable growing mats.
If drainage is required, the pre-marked sections in the base can be pushed out using the tip of a garden trowel or another suitable blunt gardening tool.
Using the tray without drainage holes
Leaving the base intact is useful for:
- Indoor growing where irrigation water needs to be contained.
- Bottom watering compatible pots and propagation containers.
- Growing microgreens on suitable fibre growing mats.
- Protecting windowsills and growing surfaces from irrigation run-off.
When using the tray without drainage holes, take care not to overwater. Excess moisture can accumulate in the base and create unsuitable conditions for developing seedlings.
Using the tray with drainage holes
Opening the pre-marked drainage holes allows excess irrigation water to escape from the tray, making it more suitable for direct seed sowing into propagation compost.
This configuration is particularly useful for greenhouse propagation, where free drainage can help prevent growing media from remaining excessively wet.
Important: Once the drainage sections have been removed, the tray will no longer retain water through its base. Place a suitable collection tray underneath when using it on surfaces that require protection.
Suitable for seed sowing, seedlings & microgreens
The Haxnicks Bamboo Seed Tray can be used for a variety of propagation applications, depending on the growing medium and whether the drainage holes have been opened.
| Application | How the tray can be used |
|---|---|
| Seed sowing | Fill with suitable seed compost and sow vegetable, herb or flower seeds. Open the drainage holes where free drainage is required. |
| Raising seedlings | Provide a contained growing area for young plants during early development. |
| Microgreens | Use with compatible hemp growing mats or other suitable growing media for soil-free microgreen production. |
| Bottom watering | Leave the base intact and use beneath compatible pots or propagation containers with drainage openings. |
| Greenhouse propagation | Use on greenhouse benches or staging for seasonal seed sowing and young plant production. |
| Windowsill growing | Grow small batches of suitable crops indoors with appropriate light and moisture management. |
Ideal for use with Haxnicks Microgreens Growing Mats
The Bamboo Seed Tray is designed to work with Haxnicks Microgreens Growing Mats, providing a convenient setup for producing microgreens without conventional compost.
The natural hemp fibre mats measure approximately 33 x 18cm and fit within the Bamboo Seed Tray. They provide a fibrous growing surface for seed germination and early root development.
To use the two products together:
- Place a Haxnicks Microgreens Growing Mat inside the Bamboo Seed Tray.
- Moisten the mat evenly with clean water.
- Distribute suitable microgreen seeds across the surface.
- Maintain appropriate moisture, temperature, ventilation and light for the chosen crop.
- Harvest the microgreens when they reach the required stage of development.
For this application, leaving the tray's drainage holes intact allows water to be retained beneath the mat. However, moisture should be monitored carefully to avoid excessive standing water.
Haxnicks Microgreens Growing Mats are available separately.
Reusable for 5+ years & compostable at end of life
Although manufactured from biodegradable materials, the Haxnicks Bamboo Seed Tray is designed to be durable enough for repeated use.
Haxnicks states that its bamboo pots and seed trays have an expected useful life of five years or more, depending on how they are used and maintained.
Between growing cycles, remove remaining compost and plant material, clean the tray appropriately and allow it to dry before storage.
When the tray eventually reaches the end of its useful life, it can be added to a suitable home composting system.
Haxnicks advises that composting may take approximately 6-12 months, depending on composting conditions. Breaking the tray into smaller pieces before adding it to an active compost heap can help speed up decomposition.
This offers an alternative end-of-life route to conventional petroleum-based plastic seed trays.
