What do you think?

I was out in the garage today and noticed I have a few deep base cat litter trays which where used for my ferrets when I had loads of them. Anyway I'm thinking I could make use of these again as seed trays as they are more robust than the flimsy seed trays you buy at the garden centre what are others thoughts on this and if it's a good idea would you suggest I drill a few drainage holes or leave as is and just water enough not to drowned the seedlings?

I'm thinking recycling here.

Cheers Bill

Use anything you do not have to buy !  I use the (blue) trays mushrooms come in.  The clear plastic trays that hold meat.  Also the clear plastic containers of 'big crisps' are good as mini cloches.   Anything but buy ! ! !  Cheers,   Tony.

Bill's talking about something robust, though, these are not.

I've long advocated cat litter trays on this forum - from what ever source - as many will testify.

I use a hot skewer to make the drainage holes rather than a drill

I wouldn't drill/burn holes in the trays.  I'd plant in something smaller and set these in the tray, that way watering can be constant and regulated.   Cheers,   Tony.

That, in fact, is what the first link tells you to do!

Sorry DD, didn't click on the link

Yup:  radish, leeks, salad.  Perfect.
