The dome kits are great but what Parks is selling is a rip off IMHO.You cannot possibly disinfect the insert of bacteria correctly for further usage.

Check out this place for trays , cells or individual domes & flats to make up what you need for the seeds you will be growing.

I might add their service is fast and courteous . I would deal with no other for my potting supplies.


If you wish to use another medium besides seed starter , I love RockWool. No contaminants and is sterile.
The sheet of 1x1x1.5'' size Rockwool Cubes [200 cubes] fits into a standard seedling flat.

This size works for my brug seeds and everything else I have tried.

So clean & easy ... 1 flat , 1 dome , a sheet of RW = DONE . no muss -- no fuss. Especially nice when you do your winter sowing on the kitchen table *grin*

Hope this helps someone.
