KINGLAKE 10 Pack 120-Cell Biodegradable Seed Trays & Fibre Seed Pots Kit
Product description
The essentials
If you’re starting seeds at home, you usually end up with two jobs: keeping germination organised, and then transplanting without wrecking the roots. This KINGLAKE kit is built around that second part as much as the first. On paper, the biodegradable paper seed trays and fibre pots are meant to reduce transplant shock by letting you plant on with less root disturbance, while also helping the roots push through and get air-pruned.
This is also a “system” style bundle rather than just a tray: you get a 10 pack of seed trays (12 cells per tray), 100 mini plant labels, plus a pair of transplanting tools (a widger and a dibber). That makes it more convenient if you don’t already have labelling and basic transplanting hand tools.
What you get in the kit
The bundle covers the usual practical steps of germination and early transplanting. The manufacturer lists:
- 10 seed trays (12 cells per tray)
- 100 mini plastic plant labels
- A pair of widger and dibber tools
It’s a sensible mix if your current setup is a bit piecemeal. One thing to keep in mind: the labels are described as mini plastic plant labels, which is fine for most use, but it’s still a reminder that the “biodegradable” part is focused on the trays/pots rather than every item in the pack.
Where it stands out (and why it matters)
The biggest draw is the biodegradable paper construction of the seed trays. Paper trays are described as having good water absorption and retention, and the claim is that this can support germination compared with traditional plastic nursery pots.
More importantly, the kit is aimed at reducing root disturbance during transplanting. The idea is that you don’t need to dig seedlings out with pot soil, instead, you can transplant directly to soil or larger pots. If you’ve ever had seedlings stall because their roots were cramped or bent, you’ll understand why that pitch lands.
There’s also a “root friendly” angle: the paper pot walls are described as allowing roots to penetrate, while supporting air pruning. In plain terms, it’s trying to reduce the common problems of severely bent or rotten roots by giving roots a way to grow through rather than being forced into a tight plastic container.

Practical tips for getting decent results
This kit is best used as part of a simple seed-starting routine: sow, label, keep moisture consistent, then transplant while the seedlings are still manageable.
A quick micro-scenario: imagine you’re starting a few veg varieties on a windowsill. You fill each tray cell, sow the seeds, then attach the included mini plant labels so you don’t end up guessing which is which after a week or two. When they’re ready, the widger helps you tease a seedling (and its root mass) free where needed, while the dibber is designed to help you make a neat hole in the next planting spot—so you can place the seedling without rough handling.
One limitation to factor in: paper-based pots and trays can be great for roots, but they may also dry out differently to thick plastic. That means you’ll want to pay attention to moisture rather than assume the tray will behave exactly like plastic.
Who it suits best (and who should be cautious)
It’s a solid pick if you’re the kind of gardener who wants a straightforward setup for germination and early transplanting, and you’d rather avoid the “dig out and shake off soil” approach. The biodegradable angle is especially attractive if you’re growing vegetables, herbs, flowers, or succulents and you want a cleaner transition from seedling stage to a bigger space.
It may not suit you as well if you’re after maximum reusability for year-after-year use in exactly the same way you might with durable plastic modules. It’s also less compelling if you already have compatible seed trays, labels, and transplanting tools, because you may end up paying for items you don’t need.
Final verdict
Is it worth it?
Buy it if you want a bundled seed-starting kit with biodegradable paper trays designed to support germination, plus a transplanting-focused approach aimed at reducing root disturbance. It’s particularly worth considering if organisation matters to you (you get 100 labels) and you want basic tools included rather than sourcing them separately.
Skip it if you’re expecting plastic-like behaviour from the trays/pots, or if you already have the labels and tools sorted. Also, if your priority is long-term reusability above all else, this one sits more in the “seasonal seed-starting convenience” category than the “keep these for years in heavy rotation” category.
Mini FAQ
How many seed cells are included?
The kit is described as 10 trays with 12 cells each, for a stated total of 120 cells.
Are the trays biodegradable?
Yes—according to the product description, the seed trays are made entirely of paper and are positioned as biodegradable.
What’s included besides the trays?
You also get 100 mini plant labels and a pair of transplanting tools (widger and dibber).
Will this reduce transplant shock?
The description claims it helps by allowing you to transplant with less root disturbance, but results can still depend on how you handle seedlings and your growing conditions.
Can I use these for more than vegetables?
The listed applications include vegetables, flowers, fruits, herbs, and succulents, so it’s intended for a fairly wide home-growing range.
