Epic Gardening 6-Cell Seed-Starting Trays, Six-Pack, Black

Epic's six-cell insert divides a propagation setup into small removable groups, useful when crops emerge at different times or need to move independently. The manufacturer lists an outer size of 4 15/16 by 3 5/16 by 2.5 inches, with individual cells 1 9/16 inches square and 2.25 inches deep. Large bottom openings and side slits are part of the design; check the recommended removal and watering method rather than assuming those features eliminate every handling risk. The product uses recycled, BPA-free, UV-protected plastic and is made in the USA. Twelve of these inserts fit the brand's Universal Bottom Tray according to the listing. Dimensions describe one six-cell insert. The linked Amazon package contains six black inserts, providing 36 cells in total; a bottom tray is a separate item. The modular arrangement can help organize small batches, but crop timing, suitable medium, cleaning, and adequate growing space remain necessary regardless of the tray's construction.

Tradeoffs & verification notes

The linked retail pack contains six black inserts; six cells describes each insert, giving 36 cells across the pack.

A compatible bottom tray may be a separate purchase, and cross-brand fit should be checked directly.

Cell openings and depth are not a verified cell-volume calculation or a guarantee that potting on will be unnecessary.
