[CH] Tray cleaning

I soak mine in a 10% chlorine bleach
and water solution for about 10 min.

L.B.


This brings up an interesting point - I was going to start seeds last night,
but then I recalled that I had read somewhere that one should always use
impeccably clean trays for seed starting.  I checked the back of the seed
mix bag and it said the same thing.  So, I soaked my old trays, lids, and
six-packs in hot, soapy water and the rinsed them off.  Of course, they are
cleaner, but not "clean".  The whole time I was wondering, "Do I really need
to be going to all of this trouble?"

What has been the experience of the list?  Do you re-use seed trays, etc.?
I can replace my setup for about $4 per 72 plants ( would only need three
sets) - should I do this?  Or, am I just making more work for myself?

Thanks.

Matt
