The dropped-floor design makes it extremely stable, the wheels roll smoothly and spin 360 degrees for good mobility, and the gorgeous hammered finish retains its good looks even with continuous exposure to scorching sun and drenching rain.

Sili-Seedlings Seed Starting Tray: Product Review

Sili-Seedlings seed starting trays are made of FDA-approved, BPA-free, food-grade silicone (great for organic gardeners).
