Huw Richards and Containerwise Seedling Trays
In collaboration with UK manufacturer Containerwise, Huw Richards has developed a range of durable, UV-stabilised polypropylene propagation trays designed to last over 10 years as a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics. These 10 and 20-cell trays feature a generous cell volume and anti-spiral root ribs to promote robust seedling development, making them ideal for gardeners with limited space who prioritise long-term quality in their food production.
Designed by gardeners, for gardeners
Our Huw Richards base tray and lid starter kit has everything you need to kickstart your growing journey, including x 1 base tray and lid, 2 x HR10 and 1 x HR20 propagation tray, and is the perfect size to fit on your windowsill. Here’s what Huw has to say about the range…
“As many of my followers will know my favourite tray in the Containerwise range is the 40L. The HR10 & HR20 offer the same cell size but are perfect for when you need fewer plants or need smaller trays to maximise your propagation space”.
