When shopping for trays the type of plants, or vegetables selected will determine the depth or square inches needed. Most trays are sold in a 1-4 square inches and volume. Annuals, perennials, and vegetable seedlings are available at local stores and online. Many nurseries will carry bedding plant plugs where you can choose the number you want. Some people make their own, but the thin plastic liners are most effective.
Trays need to be placed in well light locations in the home. They prefer warmer climates to start and may be weaned into more cooler climates once growth is well underway. A couple of hours to start is advised. The biggest mistake people make is watering their plants too much. This is the reason for the overflow tray.
When the plants or vegetables are ready to be transferred to the ground, gardeners should consider those that may benefit from peat pots. They may be placed in the ground once released from the original container to the pot. Another thing to consider is the spacing when planting into the final spot. Spacing directions should be included. With 3 to 6 months of care your garden will surprise you. You will be soon be looking for wholesale plant plugs, expanding, and sharing pictures before you know it.
