a)clean growing tray with soap and water or if you would like; sterilize with bleach (1 part liquid bleach to 9 parts water)-rinse well.

b)Add ~1/2-1 inch of soil, compost or vermiculite or any combination of these three.

I've found the best growth using a mixture of compost and vermiculite.

Yes holes are good, I think this tray has about 6 holes, I just poked the plastic through with a pencil.
