£3.71

The Garland XL Seed Tray Black with Holes is a generously sized propagation and growing tray measuring 58 x 40.5 x 7cm. Its perforated base allows excess water to drain freely, making it ideal for seed sowing, raising young plants and holding pots or propagation containers where reliable drainage is required.

Larger than a conventional seed tray, the XL format provides approximately 0.23m² of growing area. This makes it a practical choice for gardeners, nurseries and professional growers who want to manage a larger batch of seedlings, pots or young plants within a single tray.

The numerous drainage holes across the base distinguish this model from Garland's solid-base garden trays. Water can pass through rather than being retained inside the tray, making the XL Seed Tray particularly useful for free-draining propagation and general growing applications.

Why choose the Garland XL Seed Tray?

  • Extra-large 58 x 40.5cm format - provides significantly more growing space than a standard seed tray.
  • Perforated base - multiple drainage holes allow excess irrigation water to escape.
  • 7cm deep - useful depth for propagation, growing media and holding pots or inserts.
  • Approximately 0.23m² tray area - provides plenty of space for larger propagation batches.
  • Versatile growing tray - suitable for seed sowing, seedlings, young plants and groups of pots.
  • Useful for nursery production - makes it easier to organise and move groups of plants together.
  • Black finish - practical Garland growing and propagation tray for greenhouse, nursery and garden use.
  • Compatible propagator format - designed to fit the Garland X Large High Dome Propagator Lid.

Perforated base for free drainage

This version of the Garland XL Seed Tray features multiple drainage holes distributed across the base. These allow excess water to pass out of the tray rather than collecting around the growing medium or pots.

Good drainage is particularly useful during propagation, where maintaining an appropriate balance of moisture and air within the growing medium is important. The perforated design also makes the tray useful for holding individual pots or other propagation containers that need to drain after watering.

Because the tray is perforated, it should be placed on a suitable free-draining surface or paired with an appropriate solid tray underneath if water collection is required indoors or on protected benches.

More than just a seed tray

The generous dimensions of the Garland XL Seed Tray make it suitable for a wide range of propagation and plant-handling jobs. It can be filled with a suitable growing medium for direct sowing where appropriate, or used as a carrier tray for smaller pots and containers.

Its large footprint is particularly convenient when working with batches of plants. Instead of moving numerous small pots individually, compatible pots can be grouped together and handled within the tray.

For greenhouse and nursery use, this can help keep benches organised while providing a defined growing area for each batch or variety.

Compatible with the Garland X Large High Dome Propagator Lid

The XL Seed Tray is compatible with the Garland X Large High Dome Propagator Lid (GA0019). Pairing the tray with the matching lid creates a large propagation environment for raising seedlings and young plants.

The high-dome format is particularly useful where additional headroom is needed as young plants develop. The lid is available separately, allowing growers to use the tray either as an open growing tray or as part of a larger propagation setup.

Seed tray with holes or solid garden tray?

Garland produces trays for different watering and growing requirements. This XL Seed Tray has drainage holes and is the appropriate choice when excess water needs to escape freely.

A solid-base garden tray serves a different purpose, retaining water and containing run-off rather than allowing it to drain away. Solid trays are therefore more appropriate for applications such as water collection, bottom watering or protecting surfaces from irrigation run-off.

Choosing between the two depends primarily on whether you need free drainage or water retention.

Typical applications

Pot carrier tray Can hold compatible individual pots while allowing irrigation water to drain through the perforated base.

Garland XL Seed Tray Black with Holes FAQs

What size is the Garland XL Seed Tray?

The tray measures 58cm long x 40.5cm wide x 7cm high, providing approximately 0.23m² of tray area.

Does this Garland XL Seed Tray have drainage holes?

Yes. This is the perforated version, with multiple drainage holes across the base to allow excess water to escape.

What is the difference between this and a solid Garland garden tray?

This seed tray allows water to drain through its perforated base. A solid garden tray retains water and run-off, making it better suited to bottom watering, water collection and surface protection.

Can I sow seeds directly into the tray?

Yes, where direct tray sowing is suitable for the crop. Fill it with an appropriate propagation medium and manage watering according to the requirements of the seeds being raised.

Can the XL Seed Tray be used to hold plant pots?

Yes. Its generous dimensions make it useful for grouping compatible pots and young plants together, while the drainage holes allow excess irrigation water to pass through.

Can I use this tray indoors?

Yes, but remember that the base is perforated. If it is being used on a surface that needs protection from water, place a suitable solid collection tray underneath.

Which propagator lid fits the Garland XL Seed Tray?

The tray is compatible with the Garland X Large High Dome Propagator Lid (GA0019), which is available separately.

Is the high dome lid included?

No. This product is the XL Seed Tray with holes. The compatible Garland X Large High Dome Propagator Lid is supplied separately.

Is this suitable for professional nursery use?

Yes. The large format and free-draining base make it useful for propagation, handling young plants and organising groups of pots in nurseries and greenhouses.

How many trays are in an outer case?

The outer case quantity is 12 trays.
