This standardization ensures that cell inserts, humidity domes, and bottom trays from different systems are compatible, making it a versatile foundation for any seed starting setup."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Should I get seed trays with or without drainage holes?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"For most applications, you'll want both.
