1. What is an egg carton seed starting trays?

Instead of buying more plastic seed-starter carton or expensive kits, try to planting seeds in egg carton seed starting trays in planting season, when you're ready to start your planting but difficult to sow and sprout seeds directly in the soil.Planting seeds in a paper egg carton trays is perfect for the job. As start seeds in egg cartons are already divided into perfect little cups, ready for a bit of potting soil. Plus, with their long narrow shape, they’re the perfect size to rest on a sunny window sill where they’ll soak up the rays without getting too cold interfere with the growth of your plants.Plus, we're all about reducing our waste and making our goods do double duty. And there's no better way to do a little cheap gardening than by repurposing things as paper cups.

2. What is the advantage of egg carton seed starting trays for planting?

1. Egg carton seed starting trays can evenly distributed seeds, high seedling rate and reduced seed cost in planting.
The length of the nursery pot tray is 27cm, the width is 20cm, and the height is 12cm.
2. The seedlings in each egg carton seed starting trays are relatively independent, which not only reduces the transmission of diseases and insect pests among each other,
but also reduces the nutrient competition among seedlings, and the root system can be fully developed.
3. Increase seedling egg carton seeds density, facilitate intensive management, improve the utilization rate of greenhouse, and reduce production costs.
4. Unified seeding and management can make seedling growth and development consistent and improve seedling quality, which is conducive to large-scale production.
5. Simple and convenient seedling raising and transplanting without damaging root system, high survival rate of transplanting and short slow seedling period.
6. Disposable biodegradable paper pulp seeding cup garden plants propagation trays for flower planting and starting.

4. What is the difference of Marshine's egg carton seed starting trays?

1. The material is easy to degenerate or degrade
2. The root is penetrating the cup/tray
3. No need to manually take the seedling soil out of the cup
4. It can be planted directly without removing the cup/tray to damaging the seedlings

The material of seed starting trays is made from paper material, which contains plant fibers that are good for the plant (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc.)

1. Paper cups are rich in plant fiber, which is easy to degrade and harmless to the environment.
2, paper cup degradation into organic fertilizer, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other trace elements, conducive to the growth of seedlings.
3, water properly, because the pot will automatically absorb moisture from the air or quickly absorb moisture from the soil.

5. How to Planting Seeds in Recycled Egg Cartons seed starting trays?

1. Mix your egg carton seed starting trays grounds with potting soil and set them aside.
I usually make a half-and-half mixture of equal portions of soil and grounds. A soup bowl full of this mixture should be plenty for this project.

2. Cut the cups of your egg carton seed starting trays.
You can plant your seeds in the egg carton without cutting it apart, and you can also cut it apart after your seeds have sprouted, doing it in the beginning helps to prevent your roots from getting tangled later.
It also keeps you from accidentally crushing or breaking sprouts while trying to separate the cups later.

3. Fill your individual egg carton seed starting trays about half full with the soil/grounds mixture.
Keep the recommended planting depth in mind. You should be able to find this information on your seed packets. Some seeds will need to be planted deeper, so add less soil during this step for those seeds.

4. Add the seeds.
Be sure not to add too many seeds to each egg carton cup. Overcrowded seedlings will often die off. For larger plants like squash, I plant only one or two seeds per cup.
For smaller plants like cilantro and parsley, I plant about four or five seeds per cup. Remember that not every single seed will actually sprout, sprouted seeds will need room to grow and soil resources for nutrients.

5. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of the soil/grounds mixture.
Once again, you'll need to keep the recommended depth in mind. Some seeds like more cover than others.

6. Water your seed cups.
Since your egg carton cups are in a waterproof container, you can simply pour water into the container. I pour water directly into the plastic plate rather than over the individual seed cups.
The paper cups will soak up the water and keep your seeds moist. I maintain about a centimeter of water in the bottom of the plate at all times.

7. Place your seed cups in the sun.
Different plants have different sunlight requirements—your plants' seed packets should give you the particulars—but all plants need sunlight to grow.
Be sure that your seed cups are in a place where they can get enough sun.

8. Water your cups regularly.
Enjoy watching your seeds sprout and grow
