Pot trays

Post by Orfy »

I like to keep my pots in the greenhouse on trays.

I have some that I bought a while ago but am to tight to buy anymore.
I've had access to these for years but the idea only arrived last week.

They are oven trays from dead/discarded ovens and are ideal.
I work for a company that sell white goods and the drivers remove old appliances so these are free to me.

A fantastic idea, and completely off topic... you don't happen to have a bottom plate from a Zanussi oven do you? >.<

Ours has burnt on food and no amount of Oven Pride is shifting it! :P
I swear I'll have a permanent imprint of my palm over my face from reading forums.

Orfy what a great idea )t'

We got a new cooker last year and kept our old grill pan, just in case :-D

I'll keep my eye out on Freecycle :-D

Great idea! I pick up free plant trays from my local garden centre or H-Base, but they are the sort that have holes in to prevent over-watering, so they often leak onto my windowsill where I start my sedlings off - not so good!
