Can I use alunimum lasagna pan to start seedlings

14 years ago

I probably didn't spell that right, but hope you get the idea. I found a tin-foil/aluminum lasagna pan in the garage and thought I could use it as a seedling tray. Any experience with this? Will the sun's reflection help or hurt the seedlings grow? Thank you, I'm in zone 2b, want to start some annual flowers.

I have used a smaller version alum pan , they are 8" x 8"
Used them last year and again this year to start Petunias,
Poke some drain holes and they work great , cheap too
