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’-

PICK YOUR OWN
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.
