Bootstrap Farmer / Microgreens & shoots
This profile covers ten black shallow growing trays with drainage holes. Bootstrap Farmer lists the current tray at 1¼ inches high, with an outer footprint of 21 by 10¾ inches. That low rim gives short microgreens more accessible cutting space, while the polypropylene construction is intended for repeated growing cycles. Treat the pack as the planting layer in your setup: for bottom watering, plan for separate solid trays of matching depth or a suitable flood tray. Ten growing trays do not create ten complete watering pairs. Before buying, measure the shelf and decide how many crops you can light, harvest and wash each week. A smaller batch may be more useful than filling every tray immediately. Large-rooted or tall crops can justify comparing mesh or deeper trays, especially when root drainage or additional side support matters more than access to short stems.

The holes allow water to escape; this pack is not ten watertight reservoirs or ten matched growing-and-watering sets.
The current manufacturer page and Amazon listing give different inner measurements. Measure the actual tray before cutting mats; check shelf clearance against the outer footprint. Hole layout may vary by revision.
A shallow rim provides less side support for tall shoots; compare deeper or mesh trays for the crop and growing period.
Reusable trays still need cleaning between batches. Bootstrap Farmer advises disabling heated drying when using a dishwasher.
