By Mary Nelson


Gardening in all its aspects is undoubtedly a fun enterprise. However, it could also be a messy one. After all, if solvents and solutions are the moot point, we now have the two starring ingredients it takes to make mud, namely, water and soil. To preclude this unholy mess, it would do to invest in a Planter Drip Tray.

Growing and maintaining plants can be quite a chore. After all, they have quite a lot of demands and particularities. These freeloaders soil everywhere and serve as abodes for pesky insects. They have their benefits as well, but these are not evinced immediately right off the bat.

Usually, the case with wet dirt is that it has the tendency to get spread around, especially when underfoot. Also, when the pot is placed upon some sort of desk or furniture, then thats where the brackish brown water will trickled down as well. For fabrics and some kinds of wood, that may translate to permanent stains.

Similarly, when the plants soil gets too dry, the fragile feeder roots die. And instead in being more productive in growing and in branching off with fruits and flowers, its energy is concentrated on repairing damaged roots. Therefore, the plant is essentially in a looping state of stagnation.

The last, though, can quickly backfire. After all, its a given that as soon as you lovingly water your plant, it will immediately regurgitate it down the potholes, in all its brown and soiled glory. The problem can quickly chain gang all the way to create enormous ramifications.

You should make sure that the tray is able to hold water, in that it has no leaks. It has to be at least 1 or 2 inches larger in diameter when compared to the bottom of the plant container. Preferably, it has to have some built in mechanism that would assist in its purpose, such as bumps and ridges, that which raise the pots bottom of the tray. Consequently, that would allow for the drained water to accumulate in the tray without having the pot sit on it directly, since that will not be healthy for the roots of the plant.

Excess water and soil residues will no longer bode any ill to your indoor furniture and furnishings. You may set it up atop some alabaster white tile or furniture and not worry a jot about stains and spills. You may set off in your green thumb journey without engaging in tedious auxiliary tasks like cleaning up mess and mud that arent at all warranted.

Plant drip trays can be used to scoop up the wasted water trickling down the pot. Most conveniently, you can later scoop up the water at your own sweet time and spill them over more appropriate spill areas like the sink or the yard or the garden, anywhere but on your furniture and tiles. The cheapest drip trays, that which cost next to nothing but are still functional, will be able to give you an excess returns on investment. Thats hello to more uptime and free time.

It takes just a simple and inexpensive thingamabob called a drip tray to make all the difference to your convenience. Its a plus that they can be aesthetic and decorative as well. They even make your plants healthier and long lived. What can be more convenient than that.
