ILITING 1020 Mesh Seedling Trays 10-Pack 10x21in Black — Mesh Bottom, Durable Virgin PP for Microgreens & Hydroponics

The ILITING 1020 Mesh Tray is a durable, mesh-bottom seedling tray designed to improve drainage and airflow for microgreens, wheatgrass, and seed starts in soil or hydroponic systems.

These 10.6" × 21" × 2.4" trays come as a 10-pack constructed from 100% virgin polypropylene, offering a lightweight but sturdy platform that resists warping and odors. The fine-mesh base with dense 0.19-inch drainage holes encourages even moisture distribution and stronger root development, while reinforced edges provide extra support for filled soil or transport. They fit standard 1020 dimensions, making them a practical upgrade for hobby growers and small commercial operations alike.

How does the mesh bottom help seedlings and microgreens?

The mesh base increases air circulation around the root zone and allows excess water to escape, reducing the risk of waterlogged soil and root rot. Better aeration supports quicker root branching and overall healthier starts without changing your planting routine.

• 0.19-inch drainage holes promote controlled runoff and even moisture.
• Mesh design speeds drying between waterings, helping prevent disease.
• Improved airflow encourages denser, more fibrous root systems.

Are these trays durable enough for repeated use and transport?

Yes—made from virgin PP plastic, the trays are engineered for long service life and resistance to cracking or deformation. Reinforced rims and a slightly flexible body let you stack, carry, and move trays loaded with soil without losing shape.

• 100% virgin polypropylene resists odors and brittleness.
• Reinforced edges prevent bending under heavy loads.
• Slight flexibility makes handling and removal of crops easier.

Will these fit my current 1020 seed tray racks and covers?

These trays match standard 1020 footprint dimensions so they are broadly compatible with conventional racks, domes, and greenhouse shelving. Their low 2.4" height is ideal for microgreens and shallow seed starts while saving vertical space in multi-tier setups.

• Standard 1020 footprint for compatibility with racks and covers.
• Low profile suits microgreens and quick-germinating seeds.
• Ten trays per pack for batch planting or staggered crops.

How do I use these trays in soil-based and hydroponic systems?

The trays are versatile: use them with a thin layer of growing medium for microgreens or as a support for hydroponic mats and media. Their mesh lets you flush salts in hydro systems and prevents standing water in soil setups.

• Suitable for soil, coco, peat, or hydroponic mats.
• Mesh allows efficient drain-and-flush routines for nutrient control.
• Works well for wheatgrass, leafy microgreens, herbs, and seedlings.

Who is this for? Growers who need reliable, reusable trays for fast-turnaround crops will find this 10-pack ideal—home gardeners producing regular microgreen harvests, urban farmers running small racks, and educators or community gardens needing durable, stackable trays. If you require consistent drainage, easy handling, and compatibility with existing 1020 systems, these ILITING mesh trays provide a practical, long-lasting solution without introducing unwanted odors or weak recycled plastics.
