Growbag Tray | Black Plastic Growbag Tray | PlantMeNow.co.uk
Growbag trays will help your greenhouse be cleaner, tidier and easier to look after! You can use them for standing tomato pots in, use them as intended for putting a whole growbag in, or for standing other pots in. It allows you to water plenty without soaking the floor of your greenhouse and making a mess.
I’ve got three in my greenouse and they are fantastic! My greenhouse is on a solid base, not on soil, so if I overwatered things then it used to run across the floor and this makes a mess, making the place unhygenic! So I invested in some of these greenhouse trays and they are superb! I can now water the tomatoes hevaily and now worry about the mess. It also means I can keep some lettuce in pots damp by flooding the tray they sit in!
At £5.95 each they’re the cheapest I’ve found anywhere at PlantMeNow. Delivery is FREE for orders over £60 to most of the United Kingdom or £4.95 on orders less than that. however it’s a lovely shop and I’m sure most gardener’s won’t mind spending some time mooching through everything else they sell too!
