Huw Richards HR20 Propagation Tray
Award-Winning Sustainability and Professional Growth.
The HR20 Propagation Tray, designed in collaboration with self-sufficiency specialist Huw Richards, is a premium solution for growers who demand both performance and environmental responsibility. Awarded the Which? Best Buy for Sustainable Pots in March 2024, this tray is manufactured in the UK and offers a high-quality, long-life alternative to the flimsy, single-use plastics that frequently end up in landfill.
Space-Efficient Design
The HR20 is engineered to provide the same 70cm³ cell volume as the popular 40L tray but with a reduced count of 20 cells. This makes it an ideal choice for gardeners who require fewer seedlings of a specific variety or those looking to maximise valuable space on a propagation shelf without sacrificing the root volume needed for healthy plant establishment.
Built for Decades of Service
The HR20 is injection-moulded from the same tough, UV-stabilised recyclable polypropylene used in Containerwise trays that have been in service for over 15 years. This rigid, dimensionally stable construction ensures the tray remains a reliable fixture in the potting shed for at least a decade of intensive seasonal use.
Key Features and Benefits
Superior Root Architecture: When paired with the Charles Dowding/Huw Richards Base Tray, the cells facilitate air pruning, encouraging the development of a dense, fibrous root ball.
Efficient Drainage and Extraction: Each cell features a generous 20mm drainage hole, which not only prevents waterlogging but also allows for the easy and efficient ejection of the plant plug.
Ergonomic Handling: The tray is sturdy, durable, and perfectly balanced to be held comfortably with one hand.
Eco-Conscious Lifecycle: At the end of its extensive lifespan, the tray can be recycled with hard plastics at most household waste recycling centres.
