Drainage Tray / Standoff for plant pot

Post by wutang »

Hey guys

I want to keep my plant pots elevated from the saucer, what do you guys use? I've seen the Greenman Substrate tray online, but I know someone used an old bbq grill..

Just wondering whether anyone has any ideas?

Thanks

Hello mate. Plenty of ways to do it. Easist way for me was cutting some timber into pieces and elevating the pots above the trays

I just drilled a hole in the large drip tray I use (which is the same size as the shelf I grow on) and now just drain directly into a container which I empty in the loo - working really well for me but does involve elevating the plants a little:-
