[IBC] Large Plastic Tray - pot

Corcoran. Bil

Hi everyone. I just purchased my first really large tree. It is in a
24-inch round growing pot. I'm trying to find some source or some idea
for a plastic tray to catch the water runoff. Since it is an indoor
tree I have to bring it inside in a month or so and I need a larger tray
to catch the water that drips from the pot. Any idea where I can find
such a large round plastic tray? I have checked all of our sponsors
with no luck so far.

Also since I'll now be looking for a pot that is about 28-inches x
15-inches x 4-inches I'd like to hear some suggestions on where to find
such a pot. Again I've checked our sponsors and there only seem to be a
few pots that size.

Thanks

Thanks Jim. Good ideas. I did try one of those plastic tubs that hold
beer kegs and ice but it was too small.

I'd suggest a mica pot for a while. The Monastery has them, I
know, and probably other sponsors.

For a pot, I'd go with a mica pot.

Check out the plastic trays that caterers use for deli trays.
