Huw Richards HR10 Propagation Tray
Award-Winning Sustainability for Versatile, Small-Batch Sowing.
The HR10 Propagation Tray is a professional-grade tool designed in collaboration with self-sufficiency specialist Huw Richards. Recognised with the Which? Best Buy for Sustainable Pots in March 2024, this UK-manufactured tray is the ultimate solution for gardeners looking to move away from flimsy, single-use plastics. It offers a high-quality, long-life alternative that is built to perform for well over a decade.
Space-Optimised Design
The HR10 is engineered for maximum flexibility in the nursery. It provides the same 70cm³ cell volume as the popular 40L tray but with a streamlined 10-cell configuration. This narrow profile makes it the perfect choice for:
Windowsill Growing: Its slim width fits comfortably on narrow ledges.
Gap Filling: Ideal for utilising awkward spaces on propagation shelves.
Small Batches: Perfect for when only a few seedlings of a specific variety are required, preventing seed and space wastage.
Exceptional Durability and Root Health
Injection-moulded from tough, UV-stabilised recyclable polypropylene, the HR10 is rigid, dimensionally stable, and easy to handle with one hand. While a modern addition to the range, it is crafted from the same resilient material as other Containerwise trays that have proven lifespans of 15+ years.
When used in conjunction with the Charles Dowding/Huw Richards Base Tray, the cells facilitate excellent air pruning. This process prevents root circling and encourages the formation of a dense, fibrous root ball, ensuring seedlings establish rapidly once planted out.
Key Features and Benefits
Efficient Extraction: Each cell features a generous 20mm drainage hole, which aids in water management and allows for the easy removal of plant plugs.
Sustainable Life Cycle: By choosing this heavy-duty tray, gardeners help reduce the demand for disposable plastics. At the end of its long life, the tray can be recycled with hard plastics.
Professional Standards: Offers a consistent, high-quality environment for starting a wide range of vegetable and flower seeds.
