What size of tray do I need for this amount of seeds to have enough space to grow? Thanks

I planted seeds in plastic tubs from cottage cheese containers and butter containers. I also planted seeds in a long rectangular plastic flower box. I soaked the seeds for 24-48 hrs in a dish of water and kept this on top of my Mr Coffee machine. This allowed the seeds to begin to sprout. I then sprinkled the seeds on top of the soil in the container and covered lightly with some more soil. I kept the containers in a warm area until I saw growth, then set the containers under a grow light or in a sunny location. I watered daily by misting with a spray bottle filled with with water.

This is a 1 pound package. If you want to plant it all at once you would probably need to do it outside as it would probably cover 10 to 20 square feet.

It's quite a lot of seeds, you can grow them in just about anything. I grew some in a plant pot for my cat, and got a "seed flat" like this Jiffy TTRAY Plastic Plant Tray, 11" x 22", Black and I still have enough to do another one.

I'd say start with 4" diameter...you can always transfer them if they grow too large.

The hopper that holds the seeds is 7 1/2 inches tall and 7 1/2 inches wide. With the feeding tray, it extends from the tree 12 inches. It holds a lot of shelled corn.

The box is fairly small... only about room for 6 clumps of plants. There are many more seed than you need and you could simply replace one planting with whatever you desire.

The dome itself is about 71/2 inches tall. It is made to fit over an 11 x 21 inch seed starting tray which adds another 2 inches to its height. Self-standing, your plant has 7 inches of grow room.

I don't really know, but for this feeder I don't believe you need a seed tray. Seeds do not come flying out of this type of feeder like they do others. We have had a few seeds sprout but it's almost nothing.

The dome fits the standard 10 x 20 inch seed tray. I love it. It is much sturdier than the lid that comes with the seed tray and it is tall enough to accommodate your seedlings much longer. I bought four last year and will reuse them this spring.

Gladly. I needed 3 - 1.5 cu ft bags. If you plant things in it that come in pots with soil, that is enough. If you put seed in you might want to add 1 bag if 0.75 cu ft extra. I have 3 boxes, 1 for flowers, 1 for herbs & 1 for seeds of greens. I love the boxes.

I'd say they're a little larger than 1 inch by 1 inch. They work great to start seeds if you are going to transfer them into larger pots before moving outside (or to a final large pot). I use them mostly for tomatoes and pepper plants. Most other vegetables I either start in 4 inch pots or direct sow. I know I answered more than you asked, but figured it might be useful info.

Their not very sturdy but flexible so they don't crack. I have found an alternative method. I use a clear plastic storage container with lid. I place the heat mat under the plastic container and reuse the plastic six-pack containers that small vegetables had originally come in. I fill the plastic container with six-packs to germinate seeds. I place a spacer between the top of the container and the lid for air flow. I find that it is easier to move the new seedlings around in six-packs rather than the 72 plastic tray when ready to plant or give away to friends.

Depending on you lighting and your size of plants. Minimum size area prob 5x5.. I am using an area of 9x6 and am going to expand to 10x 10.

I keep 3-4 inches over growing plants without stress. I would recommend 8+ inches over seedlings.

I recommend the fruit roll up screens for seeds. I use these trays mainly for drying herbs.

No it won't. I cut a piece of paper to measure and it is just a bit too big - not by much, but 7x7 would definitely not fit inside. I actually installed mine upside down because once seed fell into it, moisture would turn the seed in the tray into a mushy mess. While it is upside down, seed still lands on it, but does not accumulate. Hope this helps.

I use 1tbsp and grow it for one week. For that time and amount it doesn't fill the jar. I would guess that 1.5 tbsp of seeds would fill the jar in one week.

You'll have plenty in one purchase for that. I do 8" rounds for people and chickens and still have half a bag after several uses. The seed and roots spread out quite a bit, I use a heaping table spoon for the 8"round and by the time the sprouts are four inches tall the roots are an inch high in the container and everything is so green, you'll wish your lawn looked that good.
