At Everfield Farm we avoid single use plastics whenever we can, choosing durable plastics that last us years when a non-plastic alternative isn’t feasible.

We’ve tried a number of 1020 seed trays over the years, including many that claimed to be heavy duty, but they all became brittle or cracked after less than a year of use so we’ve been searching for an alternative.

We recently found what we believe to be a long-term solution: 1020 Extra Strength Trays from Bootstrap Farmer.

We added these trays earlier this year for spring seed starting for our market garden and were quickly impressed as they were even sturdier than we expected and arrived quickly despite pandemic-related delays at most stores. They are also made in the USA and have a two year replacement guarantee.

We’ll share a follow-up once we’ve used them for a few seasons, but so far they’re just what we’ve been looking for and fit our winstrip-style air prune trays perfectly.
