GARLAND JUMBO

Description

The Garland Jumbo Tray is a large-capacity, heavy-duty growing tray designed for containing irrigation run-off from large potted crops, providing a leak-proof collection basin that protects grow room floors and enables straightforward run-off management across substantial growing areas. Garland has been manufacturing growing equipment for the professional UK horticulture market for decades, and their jumbo tray range is built to the durability standards required for heavy-duty, continuous use in demanding growing environments where tray failure could result in significant floor damage and growing disruption.

Large-Format Trays for Serious Growing Operations

As grow rooms scale up, the management of irrigation run-off becomes increasingly important. In a large growing space with multiple substantial pots receiving daily or twice-daily feeding, the volume of run-off produced per growing cycle is significant. A tray that is too small to contain it, or too structurally weak to support the combined weight of growing medium, plant, container, and standing water, creates floor management problems that are both inconvenient and damaging. The Garland Jumbo Tray addresses this with dimensions appropriate for large growing configurations and structural construction capable of supporting the substantial loads that large growing setups produce. The raised sides provide adequate containment depth for the run-off volumes that active feeding programmes generate, reducing the frequency of emptying required. Run-off data from large trays is also useful — consistently very high or very low run-off volumes provide information about the moisture retention state of your growing medium and can help calibrate irrigation volume and frequency. We recommend appropriately sized trays to all customers at The Horticulture Company as a fundamental component of a well-managed growing setup.

Compatibility and Care

The Garland Jumbo Tray is manufactured from durable, nutrient-resistant plastic that handles continuous exposure to nutrient solutions, pH adjusters, and enzymatic products without degradation. Clean between growing cycles using warm water and a mild disinfectant to remove mineral deposits and prevent algae establishment that could carry over into subsequent growing cycles.
