    I raised the floor in my tent using 6x2s and ply. Sit the pots on timber frames and I use jumbo garland trays under them. Packed up a little on the end so the water runs to the front. Two 10mm holes that have rubber bungs in. Measuring jug underneath the holes when ready. Job done. Plants and trays never leave the tent."

    Hi there,

    I've looked at these myself, and only see expensive ones. So, what I do now is to use a jumbo sponge (like you use for your car) and a cat litter tray to squeeze the excess into. Total cost £2.49

    Lol, & he will be throwing it in the bin in a few weeks. I had one that leaked & sprayed water all over the gaff. Get a 200 litre per hour submersible water pump, will keep the water levels low enough to not worry.
