Long thin 'drip tray' for windowsill plant nursery

202 Posts

Hi all,
We've recently acquired a garden and are enjoying our first season of growing our own. We have no greenhouse (yet!) but have a lovely sunny windowsill for growing from seed. We're happy with standard plant pots/seed trays being on display, but would like something a bit more stylish than the current bit of cardboard to go underneath and catch the watering run-off.
Windowsill is 26cm deep (space for another cm or so on the window itself if necessary) and 236cm long. We know we might need more than one tray for the full length. Any suggestions for reasonably-priced solutions? Bonus points if they're in grey, navy or leafy green as they'll fit with the overall decor.

Thanks for the shelving recommendation as well @twopenny - definitely something to think about longer term. So far we don't seem too badly afflicted by slugs and snails, but that's very possibly because nothing nice has gone out yet!

75cm x 25cm, so three would be 225cm long. £11
