Now there's good quality plastic containers and trays (for microgreens) that will last almost forever, for me there's no reason not to use those. Except for 'they do not look nice'.
Terracotta always looks much better!
I have some really nice micro green trays that are plastic, the system works very well and I can't see trying to put together a similar system that is not plastic. The same with my seed starting setup which is based on heavy duty plastic trays. I had started to look in the second hand shops for replacements that would meet the requirements but decided that it was not worth the time and effort to revamp my systems to meet the requirements for the badge bits. And trashing plastic things just because they are plastic goes against my stingy genes... So I just backed off and said nope not doing that will continue my exploration of the skills but will use the items I already have and just not submit for badge bits...
In the south when the wind gets to 75 mph they give it a name and call it a hurricane. Here we call it a mite windy...

Hi Dorothy.
You can experiment with the requirements for the BB, just to show it's possible. You do not need to do it like that 'all the time'.
I use plastic too, both 'good quality plastic trays' and reused plant containers. Especially when it's for pre-seeding vegetable plants.
