GARLAND SQUARE 80 CM SQUARE TRAY

Description

The Garland Square 80cm Square Tray is a heavy-duty, leak-proof growing tray designed for capturing run-off from large pot-grown crops and protecting growing room floors from the nutrient solution spillage that is an inevitable part of active feeding programmes. At 80cm square, this tray accommodates large containers, multiple mid-sized pots, or the standard configurations used in a typical indoor growing setup, providing a contained, manageable collection point for all irrigation run-off.

Why a Quality Drip Tray Matters

In any active growing environment where nutrient solution is applied regularly to pots, run-off is unavoidable and necessary — good irrigation practice involves watering to run-off to flush the growing medium and prevent salt accumulation. Without a robust collection tray, this run-off accumulates on the grow room floor, creating wet patches that encourage mould growth, make the floor slippery and hazardous, and can damage flooring materials over multiple growing cycles. Collecting run-off in a drip tray also gives you useful information about your growing medium’s moisture retention. The volume and timing of run-off after irrigation tells you about the hydration state of your medium and can help you calibrate your watering frequency and volume. At The Horticulture Company we recommend quality drip trays to all growers using pot-based growing systems. Garland’s trays are manufactured to the standards required for heavy, continuous use in growing rooms.

Construction, Durability, and Compatibility

The Garland Square 80cm tray is manufactured from durable, UV-stabilised plastic that resists the degradation caused by nutrient solutions and grow room conditions over multiple growing cycles. The raised sides contain spills effectively and the flat base supports heavy pot loads without flexing. The tray is compatible with all nutrient solutions, pH adjusters, and additives used in standard growing programmes. Clean between cycles with warm water and a mild cleaning solution to prevent algae and mineral deposit build-up that can transfer to subsequent crops.
