<p>A seedling growing container is illustrated wherein a number of removable partitions or barriers are positionned together in a block. Each of the partitions has interconnecting diverging walls (B) forming a series of troughs therebetween open at the top and the bottom so that the partitions may be placed in opposing relations as in a tray (A) forming growing compartments from each of the opposing troughs which are in register with each other, suitable for growing a single seedling (27). Positioning of the plugs (26) is contemplated such that alternate rows of plugs of growing material (26), each of which is capable of growing a single seedling (27), are utilized so that each plug (26) will be surrounded for the most part by a partition with the remainder being surrounded by an air space for preventing roots from growing from one plug (26) to the other trough the process of air pruning. The tray is partially open at the bottom (12), at least to an extent sufficient to provide an opening (13) for heated air to be passed upwardly through the voids formed by the omitted plugs for further encouraging growth of the seedlings (27). Any suitable device may be utilized for positioning the partition together to form a block.</p> |
