I've never paid more than $4-5 for the trays in 72 or 96 cell sizes. I don't think $16 for 120 cells is a good price.

Do they come with the cover like this does? Are they coming from Dollarama or something?

Yes, they come with a clear plastic cover as well. It is one big piece instead of 10 individual boxes though, so might be harder to find space on eg. a windowsill. I got mine at a local garden shop.

you don't need to start seeds for herbs indoor, I normally just spread the seeds in the garden when spring comes.

The ones from Dollarama are paper thin. Would be curious to see the ones from this thread.

Why do people opt to buy and use these when the can just reuse food containers? Costco has some of the best food containers for seed starting.

If you're looking for optimization look to buy 10x20 thick black trays ($6) instead

I need a tray to hold big potting containers

You don't make holes on your containers?

No need for holes if you're careful with not over water in first place. I only water when soil feels or looks near dry.

However I do have strawberries with holes at bottom that drip to the seedlings below.

I got this from Canadian Tire for $6.99.
Comes with a lid, the bottom tray and a 72-cell tray that I cut in 12 trays of 6 cells.

I tried this last year - as a first time grower i had minimal success growing from seeds - some didnt grow, some grew mold, some dried out and died. It seems they are extremely sensitive when starting from seeds. Also depends on what type of herbs you are growing, and its even fussier if you are combining herbs into the same tray.

To avoid disappointment - if you are a first timer, try instead to grow from seedlings or established young plants. Get into the right habits and right environment, and then try your luck at seeds. Just my opinion.

Haha. I have "cosmic purple carrots" currently growing in a McDonalds soft drink cup. (Personally, I cut a hole in the bottom for drainage.)

Just my two cents as someone who had varying degrees of success last year as a newbie : research what plants will grow well being transplanted and what needs to be direct sown. This would have saved me a lot of disappointment. That being said, I was very eager to try it out, so made a lot of mistakes.

A lot of herbs are VERY invasive - and can take over a garden. Mint for example - or dill. I like to grow many herbs in container pots from small plants that I purchase. The ones that are not invasive, are fine in a garden plot. The problem with starting herbs from seeds is that you usually only need a few plants of each type of herb (except maybe basil) versus the hundreds of tiny seeds in a packet . I do like starting flowers from seeds - some like marigolds are so easy to start from seeds and transplant to the garden.
