[IBC] Large Plastic Tray - pot

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
wmcorcor

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.

Go to a restaurant supply store. Egg crate from Home Depot to hold the pot out
of the water. Support the middle of the egg crate with plastic pots or
containers.

You might want to consider a mica pot in that size. Check out Bonsai by the
Monastery:
