Mixed Pallets
By far the most popular choice among small scale farmers is the mixed pallet of 400 trays. You choose, in units of ten, which trays (50, 72. 128) you want as part of the 400 total. Any combination in units of ten is fine with us. After you order, contact us to let us know what combination you want.

Winstrip Trays
"Switching to Winstrip Trays had the biggest affect on my farm's production compared to all the changes we have made at Neversink over the years." -Conor Crickmore
The Winstrip Tray makes soil blocks obsolete. These trays bring all the benefits of soil blocks without any of the downside.
Every nursery tray on the market creates a solid surface of soil and plastic on the top of the tray, blocking all airflow to the roots. Winstrips are the only tray that provides airflow from below and from above.

Air Pruning
Large bottom holes not only make it easy to remove starts but combine with the side slits to air prune the roots preventing root circling. Thus Transplants can be left longer in the tray if needed. Transplants are also healthier and grow quickly when transplanted.
Heavy Duty
Each tray weighs in at over 1.7 pounds. They stack and nest for easy storage. They are made with thick UV resistant plastic of the highest quality to last for many, many years. I have had mine for 10 years and they still work great.
Wind Strips
Winstrips open cell design allows more air which creates a healthier enviroment. Each cell has vertical air spaces and strips where air can flow around each cell. This creates healthy starts with much less disease.
Bottom Trays?
Unlike regular flimsy vacuum formed nursery trays, Winstrips do not require a bottom tray for handling. Winstrips can be moved around easily with one hand as they are built thick and tuff.
For farm scale use in Greenhouses, Winstrips should be used on vented tables to get the best air circulation. Winstrips provide airflow around every cell and bottom trays would interfere with that functionality.
If you are starting seedlings in your house and want to protect furniture and floors or just like to bottom water. Winstrips uniquely provide airflow from above and below, so bottom trays will still allow air around your seedlings. Thus, you will still get most of the benefits and with Winstrips' open cells, watering is a breeze. Many home gardeners use our trays with bottom trays. Photo: @texasecofarms

Seedlings are healthier because there is less disease due to added airflow. When planted they begin growing faster due to less transplant shock because of air pruned roots.
