This tray is ideal for growing watercress, rocket, radish, cabbage, broccoli, kohl rabi, mustard and more. The package contains the cap, shallow strainer, deep strainer and the plant saucer. The saucer's finish mixes virgin material with 10% granulated coffee grounds, resulting in an ivory colour with a grainy appearance. 100% BPA-free as well as dishwasher safe.
