Thanks for sharing pictures Dave. I guess at flowering time it looks even more colourful :razz: .
Those are nice big trays you are using. Are they made to hold plant containers ?

Hi Jens

They come in all sorts of sizes, and are usually sold as gravel trays and the big oblong ones may well be growbag trays, I use quite a few myself.

Jens,

Thanks for the comments Jens....Bill's correct, the very large ones are grow bag trays, many garden centers sell them.

Regards

Dave

I noticed the trays as well - good idea. Do you water from below (so the plants soak the water up from the tray) or from above so the trays collect surplus water? I work in a primary school and have salvaged the trays they use. Ideal for potting etc. When I put my plants in the cold frame I actually put them altogether in cat litter tray!

Hi Sue,

I actually water from the top, mainly because the staging isn't quite level and the water just runs to one end if I water from below :lol: so some plants would get loads and other wouldn't get any.......
