We have been starting our seeds of in the usual trays but I see many are now using the cell system which is supposed to make life easier when it comes to moving them on and handling the seedlings.We have looked at a number of products from Wilkos but they all appear to be made of that crinckley thin pastic , sorry I dont know the name for it.We thought if we spent more money and bought a more solid plastic cell tray they would last a few seasons.Anyone able to help us find them and what sort of price could they be.

These  are strong and I've got some that are now in their 5th year. It's the extra ridges across the top that makes them stronger, and the plastic is much thicker as well
They come in different sizes.

I use them, generally the 20 cell variety. I don't even bother putting them in a seed tray.

I bought ones from Wilko's they are a little flimsy, but are doing the job right now.  Will report back when they break!

I usually use wilco ones,they have got flimsier over the years,so I now throw away after 1 season but I wait until they are selling them off at the end of the season & usually get them 75% off.Plus they are a real pain to wash.

i also wait until they sell them off, got packs of 5 full sized seed trays for 10p last year!

[mikeimp]

Thanks to all,looks like another trip to Wilkos and put up with their type of seed cell.Thanks again to all.

Why so?

You asked for links to sturdier ones and indicated you would be willing to spend a bit more. You've had positive responses.

[mattwragg94]

yeh the ones that auntiemogs gave you a like to are realy good quality ones and at a very reasonable price (you wont find them cheaper unless you join a allotment/horticultural society)

[PurplePixie]

I looked at the ones Auntie Mogs posted and the other things they sell and I could feel my debit card twitching 

[Auntiemogs]

Yup, me too!   Tis Mums fault, she started it...

[mumofstig]

i get all my modules from here, I think their canes are good value as well, the ones I bought last year were thick and strong, unlike the ones I saw at the sheds!

Yup, I bought the "8ft Good Quality Strong Bamboo Garden Canes" Mum and I didn't really think they would really be "Good Quality Strong Bamboo Garden Canes". I may have to whittle the ends down to fit them into the connectors. Excellent value.
