The good

  • The 32 cell format gives seedlings more room than very tiny plug trays.
  • Removable inserts make it easier to handle individual starts during transplant time.
  • A 10-pack supports repeat seed starting for vegetables, herbs, flowers, and backup plants.

The tradeoffs

  • Starter trays still need bottom trays or a controlled watering area to catch runoff.
  • They are utility containers, not decorative pots.
  • Larger seedlings will need potting up before they become root-bound.

A seed-starting tray for real batches

Bootstrap Farmer 32 Cell Seedling Starter Trays are for gardeners who start more than a few seeds at a time. The 32 cell format gives each seedling a clearer home than scattering starts across mixed cups, tiny nursery pots, and reused containers.

This is not a decorative planter. It is a working tray for vegetables, herbs, flowers, cuttings, and backup plants that need to stay organized before transplanting.

The cell size suits the middle stage

Very tiny plug trays can be efficient, but they often require quick potting up. A 32 cell tray gives young plants a bit more room while still fitting a useful number of starts into a standard flat.

That middle-ground size is helpful for tomatoes, peppers, basil, flowers, greens, and other starts that need time under lights or in a protected area before they move outside.

Removable inserts help at transplant time

The removable inserts are the practical detail. They make individual plants easier to lift, inspect, sort, and move when it is time to pot up or transplant.

Drainage still needs a plan. Pair these with a bottom tray, a bench area, or another controlled watering setup so runoff does not become a mess.

Good match

Use these for repeat seed-starting batches, labeled varieties, backup seedlings, cuttings, herbs, vegetables, and flowers that will eventually move into larger pots, beds, grow bags, or planters.

What to know

Choose these when organization matters more than presentation. Choose nursery pots when plants need more individual soil volume, and choose a decorative planter only after the plant is ready for its final visible container.
