Crawfish Trays??

So this is not really a DIY thing, hopefully it’ll help someone out.
I‘ve looked for what seems like forever to find something suitable (something sturdy and made to last) to put large (3-5, maybe even 7gal) smartpots in so the runoff did run off, lol. I stumbled across these in Walmart the other day, they sell them as ‘Crawfish Trays’-

Don't you all set the pots up so they are not totally in the runoff. Allows the "salts" etc. to not accumulate in the bottom of the felt container. 1/2" or an inch off the bottom of the tray is what I do. I use ceramic "floor tiles". They will wick moisture also.

I use the hydrofarm green trays. They are pricey, but last. And they come in big packs, so it's not that much per item. When I used cloth pots I used a bucket grid to keep air underneath the pot.
