Extremely durable! I’ve been looking for something I can use again and again, and these are the exact thing I’ve been looking for. Hoping to try the four cells next year as well. And as someone who’s fingers have gotten stuck in many cheap nursery cells, I appreciate the bigger holes in the bottom. Very well designed product.

Joseph L.Verified

So planted a few cells. A single squash and water melon came up and nothing else even trying. So was able to push those cells out and put them out in garden with milk jug over, cause they were up , nothing else...try that with a jiffy cell

EPIC starter trays!! I ordered these after mangling my poor seedlings in those flimsy cheap 6 cell trays. My seedlings are too important to traumatize like that again. I immediately ordered from Kevin (I'd seen them in the past on his website but wanted to 'use up' what I had). These are absolutely worth every penny! Love love love. It is wonderful to push the plant up from the bottom without damage to the roots. I would order again - absolutely. If you are even thinking about it - ...

These are, by far, the best seed starting pots I have ever used. They are so sturdy and the openings at the corners keep the roots going straight down. I have been seed starting and transplanting all spring with no bound roots and these are so easy to push the little seedling out. I love them.

I love my epic 6 cell trays! It’s so exciting and satisfying to see the process of a single seed go to germination, growth and then harvest. It is so easy to just poke your finger up the bottom hole to remove the seedling to transplant. The trays are super sturdy, and I see myself using them for many years to come.

I'm new to seed starting but have been an avid gardner for most of my adult life. The results I see from the 6 cell trays are impressive. Amazing root structure and extremely healthy plants. And let's not forget how easy potting them up becomes with the wide gauge hole at the bottom. I have an order of 4 cells on the way. Thanks Kevin for your hard work and attention to detail. Hey....and the stickers are really cool too!! Cheers, Chris

I was taken aback by how much more quickly I saw germination and growth in my seeds with these trays! I love that they are so sturdy and expect them to last much longer than anything I had used before. The hole in the bottom will make transplanting SO much easier, too!

Melanie V.Verified

I loved these from the moment I pulled them out of the package. So sturdy, easy to fill and clean after use. The baby plants love them too and come out easily when it's time to move on. 100% recommended!

Tegan S.Verified

Very happy with this product. Love that they are reusable and won’t blow around the garden when planting outside in windy days. Great for the kids too. Sturdy and easy for little ones to plant in.

Large hole at bottom for pushing seedlings up to put up or plant out. Side-slits Air prunes roots. Fits nicely in a 1080 tray. I am back to get the larger size for my tomatoes and squash plants.

Moriah W.Verified

Loving these so far. I definitely overcrowded seeds a bit, but oh well. They have separated out fine. I will make this my go to system for seed starting & growing. The plants pop out very easy without disturbing the roots. Would recommend these. The quality is good, seem sturdy & hope they will last for years.

Tara V.Verified

I love these indestructible 6-packs. Plants grow well, easy to bottom water and fertilize, and super-easy to puch out the plugs when time to plant. Here are some gorgeous coleus that I grew from seed in these wonderful 6-pack cells

Danette S.Verified

Finally got my native Florida Seminole pumpkin seeds and was able to use new planting cells. They are so sturdy and I love the open access to the plants from the bottom! This should make transplant so easy! Great product!

Maggie T.Verified

Love these for starting seeds. Rigid so they're easy to move even when fully loaded and I like that it fits perfectly into existing 1020 trays. The design prevents root circling and they stack nicely. I wish there was an option between 24 and 120 but I'm not too upset as I gave extras away to gardener friends and still have some left over :)

Jeff D.Verified

I'm trying to start all my veggies from seed this year and the 6-cell has come to the rescue. I'm especially proud of my zucchini that I grew from seed. It grew up FAST and I needed to transfer it to a bigger container after about a week, but it is possible. I've used several other seed trays before and this is above and beyond my favorite trays.

Star L.Verified

Saved my garden! This is my first year gardening. In February I started over 100 seeds using peat trays. What a huge mistake. I didn't do well using those and ended up stunting most of my seedlings! But I just stared these seeds 9 days ago and I've been trying to keep up with the rapid growth in these! When I went to transplant It was so easy to pull the roots out without damaging them! The plastic is so sturdy aswell!

Amber R.Verified

Absolutely love these seed starting trays. I ordered a small pack of them last year and went ahead and ordered the big pack this year. I'll never use anything else to start my seeds!

These are truly great for medium/high volume home gardening. They fit great in my Bootstrap Farmer 1020 trays. The module size is near ideal, smaller plants go straight from the module cells into the ground, while larger/later plants only need a single pot-up. These allow me to germinate many different types of seeds at once in a single 1020 tray over a heat mat - simply pulling each tray as they germinate into a different 1020 under grow lights, then sowing something else to take the empty slot...

Monica

These are freaking great -- easy to fill, fit perfectly in my base trays, and so far have produced extremely happy, vigorous seedlings. Additionally, I am extremely impressed with Epic Gardening's customer service. I made the poor life choice to plant all my seeds at like two in the morning (as one does during a pandemic). I discovered that a tray had been damaged in shipping, and being sleep-deprived and salty, I left a snarky review about it. I was contacted within an hour about the issue and...

It works great in so many ways: the set fills 2x 10" by 20" trays and cleaning is so much easier than other setups. I am doing my 2nd round of seedlings already and love the process: if some trays mature faster (for whatever reason), you just turn them over faster; no need to worry about the rest of them. How about a larger 3-cell design, Kevin? 3-cell x 6 - perfect fit for a 10" by 20" ?

Rachel N.

These were such a great buy! I had seen something similar and passed, with much regret. Not this time around! I've been gardening for years, but only started seeds last year with terrible results. Photo is 6 days after planting. Super easy to wash and clean. They also fit perfectly in my trays, even with the tray lids on. And if you don't think you need so many, think again! Not all seeds germinate, not all seedlings transplant well, not all plants survive. 6 cells for each of my plant varieties...

Nicole W.

I swear by this combo: 6-cells and extra heavy duty trays to hold them. These seed cell trays will be your lifelong friend and companion on the gardening journey. I had my husband stand on them to confirm at 205 lbs and they held up with no issues or damage. I have reordered these twice now and will be getting an additional full order. Having the slits helps with preventing any seedlings from becoming too root bound. Great way to get strong plants right at the start and then up-potting or planti...

Brittani D.Verified

They were easy and quick to put together. I can't wait to fill them up and start planting!

Karen D.Verified

These cells work great for seedlings! The root ball pops out so easy and they are so sturdy. They will last a lifetime.

Sarah E.Verified

Worked well… ultra durable. Looking forward to the larger size. Maybe think about a deep root version too… like to replace the root trainer contraption sold by gardeners supply.

Sally L.Verified

These are so sturdy. And as a bonus you can tell when you need to transplant. I am going to start replacing all of my starter pots.

Emi S.Verified

I’ve been reusing flimsy 6 space plastic pots from when I bought plants, for seeding. But I’ve started to plant my own seeds for a few years and I am running out of recycling plastic pots. So, finally I bought this smaller pots for seed starting and it has been grate space saver. Plus amount of the soil. Also, very strong. I am glad I bought it.

Elizabeth C.Verified

ABSOLUTELY hands down, the absolute BEST seedling cells! I cannot express how incredible these are! I’m stoked to give a review on the tree surround & epic 4 cells!

Mitchell C.Verified

The 72 cell tray is rigid, and a good fit for a 1020 tray. I will be looking forward to strating seedling for years to come!

Polly M.Verified

I LOVE these Epic seed starting trays so much ... I ordered another 24 ..... the air pruned roots are so healthy and beautiful!!!

Daniel R.Verified

I absolutely love my new 6 cell starter trays. Love how sturdy they are and the aeration the roots get.

Nicholas V.Verified

These seed starting trays are super convenient! Far easier to use than peat pots. A dibbler that matches the contours of the cell makes up-potting and transplanting foolproof.

Chelsea M.Verified

Love these, definitely worth the money (even with shipping to Canada). No more cheap plastic shredding my seedling roots. I can see these lasting decades.

Erin C.Verified

I love the trays!! I know the pic isn't amazing, but they fit PERFECTLY on my kitchen window sill! 😍😍

William P.Verified

Had to get more of these because they are so great! Sturdy as can be. Great product and would most definitely recommend.

Michael S.Verified

I love how durable and better quality these trays feel. Put them into immediate use and feel they are a great addition to an epic garden here in NC.

Nicole C.Verified

I love these trays so much! The pop out feature is everything. No more squishing plants out of those tiny seed starters 😍

Enid P.Verified

OMG!! These are one of the best investments that I've made for my garden. They're so easy to use. I'm so down with just being able to pop the plant from the bottom with no struggle & very little, if any, damage to my roots. Way to GO Kev!! 1 Request -- How about Epic 6-Cell Seed Starting Trays - XL? An extra large/deeper starter tray would really be nice for those times when you really need good root development before going to ground. Just a thought...have a great day! :-)

Ryan J.Verified

I am so happy that I will not have to purchase another cheap seed starting cell in my lifetime. Supper heavy duty and high quality.

Janine D.Verified

These are made of very durable, reusable plastic. They fit perfectly in the 1020 trays. I plan to purchase more of these!
