Sprouting tray ideas- where do you get your trays?

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

I would ideally like to find a bunch of restaurant trays, but I haven't found anything like that cheap or free. So for now I have been making mini trays out of the bottom of milk jugs. They stack really nicely so a can drill holes in a dozen or more at a time. Plus each one has a ridge that runs from corner to corner, so I can create an air space by turning the tray on top 90 degrees.I would like bigger trays, I think, but free is good and most of the people I work with are SAD so I can get all the milk jugs I want for free.I would ideally like to find a bunch of restaurant trays, but I haven't found anything like that cheap or free.

As Kulvinskas has always said. `sproutarianism is about being thrifty...you don't need all the fancy equipment...all you need is old pots and pans and containers'. You can use almost anything.

Thrifty is ideal. We have shops that sell cooked pickled cucumbers. I encourage all my friends to buy them then give me the jars when they have finished. I also live just up the road from a wholesale bottle and jar company :) I also shop at a place where they sell factory over runs for pennies. I get lots of gardening things for free off freecycle
