CONTAINER FOR GROWING AND SUBSEQUENT TRANSPLANTING OF SEEDLINGS

摘要

A container for growing seedlings in the form of a moulded plastics tray with a horizontal upper side formed with a series if closely-packed uniform and regular hexagonal openings bounded by walls which define a cavity tapering downwardly from each opening, and terminating at an aperture on the lower side. As compared with prior seedling containers of similar size formed with circular openings, the container exposes a larger surface area of the soil or other growing medium, providing for better aeration and facilitating the application of treatment liquids, and can provide an increased volume of the growing medium adjacent the upper end of the cavity, whereby seedlings of increased stem diameter can be grown.
