Abstract: A planting pot and tray system comprises a plurality of pots and a tray having multiple receptacles configured to receive the pots. Each pot includes at least one rounded side, and at least one generally flat side, with each receptacle including at least one curved wall and at least one generally straight wall. The receptacles are configured to receive the pots with the rounded and flat sides of the pot engaging with respective walls of the receptacle to whereby the respective shapes of the receptacles and pots orient the pots within the receptacles. A front wall of the receptacle is shorter than the pot whereby a portion of side of the pot is exposed and directed outwardly from the tray.

Abstract: A plug tray for growing, planting and transplanting plants includes a surface member having a plurality of rows of inner cells and a pair of rows of outer cells. Each row of outer cells is positioned proximate to an end of the surface member. A plurality of aeration apertures are formed in the surface member to thereby provide aeration to plants growing within the cells. The inner cells and outer cells are offset with respect to the major axis of the surface member to thereby provide increased strength and rigidity, allowing the tray to be manufactured using the relatively inexpensive process of thermoforming. The outer cells are configured such that the center-to-center distance between adjacent outer cells of a pair of plug trays placed end-to-end is substantially equal to the center-to-center distance between adjacent cells within a particular plug tray.
