You can order everything from Violetshowcase in Englewood, Colorado..........his catolog on line opens on Adobe Acrobat and I just phone in my order. These are called perma nest trays and then you order the 11x22 grids to fit the big perma nest trays. I love them.........I have to wick everything I grow because I am growing more than I can do!!!!! (LOL)

I go to Walmart and buy size 18 poly string for the small pots and 32 or 36 string for 4" pots..........the string can't be cotton and needs to be acrylic which is easy to find at Walmart.

The 11x22 trays are 6.50 and the grids to fit are 4.00 but they last 15 years. I just have started replacing ones I have had for many years........(I wasn't growing gessies but I was using them)

Then Violetshowcase makes the finest trays and domes for 6.50 together.......let me show you a picture......perfect for growing leaves, propagating anything small.......and also for putting baby plants which need a dome. They fit much better than the perma nest tray domes..........don't order them............

Here is a picture with new babies in it with the dome on and I didn't put the insert tray in the bigger tray.......just used blanket material with wicks...
