  I suppose it depends on what you do with your plants.  I think for your
average Joe, who's just growing a small number of plants for his / her own use,
maybe it doesn't really matter.  Unless maybe you had some problems last year
that you can trace back to when they were that young, and you have suspicions
about the trays.  I've always just rinsed them with a hose after I'm through
with them, and thrown them in the garage 'til the next year.  No problems so
far.
