10x10 Growing Trays - Shallow - With or Without Holes

Looking for an affordable 10x10 tray solution for small-batch growing or variety testing? These shallow 10x10 trays offer versatility and value—available in packs of 10 with holes for drainage or without holes for bottom-watering reservoirs. At a budget-friendly price point, they're perfect for growers who need multiple trays for sprouting, microgreens, wheatgrass, or seed starting without the premium cost.

Why These Trays Work

Complete bottom-watering system in one purchase: Each pack includes 10 trays (your choice of with holes or without holes). Buy one pack of each and you have a complete 10-tray growing system—trays with holes nest perfectly inside trays without holes for efficient bottom-watering.

Compatible with reusable grow mediums: These trays work perfectly with our 10x10 Reusable Grow Mediums (both silicone and stainless steel). The inner dimensions are designed to accommodate standard 10x10 grow mats.

5x5 tray compatibility: Unlike Bootstrap Farmer 10x10 trays (which are slightly smaller to fit two per 10x20), these standard-sized 10x10 trays fit four 5x5 trays perfectly inside. This gives you ultimate flexibility for variety testing and small-batch growing.

Cost-effective strength: Made from BPA-free Polystyrene (PS), these trays hit the sweet spot between affordability and durability. They're not as heavy-duty as our Bootstrap Farmer 10x10 Heavy Duty Trays, but for lighter-duty applications and growers watching their budget, they offer solid performance at a fraction of the cost.

Versatile growing applications: Perfect for indoor or outdoor growing, greenhouse propagation, nursery setups, and home growing operations where you need multiple trays without breaking the bank.

Key Specifications

• Material: BPA-Free Polystyrene (PS) Plastic
• Pack Size: 10 trays per pack
• Weight Capacity: Moderate—suitable for most small-batch growing applications

With holes version:

• Hole Size: 0.25" for drainage
• Use: Growing trays, top trays in bottom-watering systems

Without holes version:

• Home growers on a budget

The 1.5" shallow depth is ideal for microgreens, sprouts, and quick-turn crops where you want to minimize growing medium while maintaining proper moisture.

Compatible Growing System

Bottom-watering setup: Nest trays with holes inside trays without holes. Add water to the bottom tray, and the holed tray allows roots to access moisture while maintaining drainage. Simple and effective.

Reusable grow medium compatible: Works perfectly with our 10x10 Reusable Grow Mediums in both silicone and stainless steel.

5x5 tray compatibility: Four 5x5 trays fit inside these 10x10 trays for ultimate growing flexibility. (Note: This is different from Bootstrap Farmer 10x10 trays, which are slightly smaller and don't accommodate 5x5s well.)

Modular options: Two 10x10 trays don't fit perfectly side-by-side in a 10x20 tray. For that configuration, use Bootstrap Farmer 10x10 trays instead.

Care & Maintenance - IMPORTANT

CRITICAL - No Heat Exposure: These Polystyrene trays will warp when exposed to heat.

❌ DO NOT:

• Put in dishwasher
• Wash with hot water
• Expose to steam or heat mats
• Leave in direct sunlight

✅ DO:

• Hand-wash with cool or room-temperature water and mild dish soap
• Air dry completely before storage
• Store in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight

Lifespan: With proper care, these trays can last through many growing cycles, though they won't be as long-lasting as premium heavy-duty polypropylene options like our Bootstrap Farmer 10x10 Heavy Duty Trays.

What to Know Before You Buy

Perfect for growers who prioritize:

• Affordable trays in bulk quantities (10-pack)
• Small-batch growing and variety testing
• Compatibility with 10x10 reusable grow mediums and 5x5 trays
• Growing on a budget without sacrificing basic functionality

Care requirements:

• Hand-wash only with cool water (will warp if exposed to heat/dishwasher)
• Store out of direct sunlight

Performance notes:

• Lighter-duty than Bootstrap Farmer Heavy Duty trays but significantly more affordable
• Best for standard microgreen loads; not designed for extremely heavy applications

The bottom line: These trays deliver solid performance for small-batch growing and variety testing at an unbeatable price point. They're not trying to compete with premium heavy-duty trays—they're giving budget-conscious growers a practical way to scale up tray quantities without breaking the bank.
