or, make a PVC PIPE TRAY, if you've got time to cut the pvc.
I've got two trays for this season. I'm using old wooden drawers with drain holes drilled in the bottoms ($1/each at a yard sale...)
Cut the pipe during TV commercials with a hand held pvc cutter tool

These are 4" tall 2" diameter pieces for some of my tomato and bell pepper seeds.

This'll be my first season using these tubes, but, if they work like they're supposed to (go check em out in the IRIS forum...), I'll not have a tangled mess of seedlings to break apart. And, since I can deep root the tomatoes, all I have to do is keep adding potting mix as the seedling grows taller. I'll push em out and have individual seedlings to pot up to 12 oz. solo cups...

Hope this is a helpful idea!
