[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 ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

I have checked all of our sponsors with no luck so far. Look in auto supply store for grease/oil drip pan. Look in kitchen supply store for pizza tray.

Thanks Jim. Good ideas. I did try one of those plastic tubs that hold
beer kegs and ice but it was too small. == == Look in auto supply store for grease/oil drip pan. == Look in kitchen supply store for pizza tray. == ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Also, you might find a round plastic drip pan in the garden section at Home Depot, Walmart or Lowe's. I have found them with diameters in excess of 20"/ For a pot, I'd go with a mica pot.
