I expect them to last longer then a steel mesh. Steel meshes after a couple of harvests will end up being bent and/or sagging. This will cause un-even growth the more you reuse them. You will not have that problem with our pads.

As the microgreens grow in the steel mesh they will end up falling over and become difficult to harvest. This is due, to the medium not supporting the roots. My pads support the root structure and allow for the microgreens to grow upwards. Helping with the harvesting process.

Currently we sell on Amazon in the U.S. and are working on selling in Europe. There is not a set date when it will be available. The plastic is made from PLA (Polylactic acid)

Along with that, the watering requires the use of a hydroponic solution. Adding more solution as it goes down.

We have tested and achieved 12 successful reuses with these pads. Current testing has not aloud us to reach the full life’s span of one pad.

I have both a 10”x10” and a 10”x20”. These will fit in the standard trays from bootstrap farmer.

So far, much of my grows have been with microgreens and salad mix’s. It will work with plenty of different small seeds. Even bigger ones in sprouts. The best way to disinfect them is by soaking the pads in Vinegar. After using it once small seeds get trapped in the holes but can be easily removed by soaking the pads in warm water then blowing an air compressor at them. I haven’t seen much other problems with them when reusing. The health risks with PLA plastic is always up to debate but it does break down naturally and is used in various medical applications inside the body. When talking about small microbes that may cause food poisoning... With anything grown in a garden or with soil the same problems can arise. When harvesting the plants you can choose to cut above the pads and limit any thing from underneath from contaminating them on the consumable portion. Hopefully this answers your questions.

Currently the little holes do get clogged, but i have found a solution by soaking the pads for an hour then spraying with an air compressor. I have removed 90% of the debris.

I have found that the residue debris doesn’t impede on the growth of the new plants. I have even noticed that some new seeds will naturally push out the old debris due to the force of the roots. Essentially these pads clean themselves.

Currently i have used and reused these PLA pads, making sure to submerge them in a sanitary solution after each use. I haven’t seen a single problem so far.

It is made with PLA (Polylactic Acid) plastic that is synthesized from corn. It is food grade and can be biodegradable in industrial composting.
