£29.12

The Danish Irrigation Tray Grey 1100mm x 635mm is a professional cultivation tray designed for bottom watering, irrigation run-off collection and integration into plant watering systems. Its 1100 x 635mm footprint provides a practical growing area for groups of pots and containers at either ground or table height.

The moulded tray incorporates a channelled base that directs water towards the drainage point, making it suitable for both supplying water to plants from below and collecting excess irrigation solution. It can be incorporated into a suitable drainage arrangement where run-off needs to be directed away from the growing area.

Manufactured from HIPS plastic, these Danish-style irrigation trays are designed for repeated use in growing environments. The 1100 x 635mm model sits between the narrow 1100 x 330mm tray and the larger 1100 x 1000mm version, making it a useful mid-width option for professional nursery and greenhouse layouts.

Bottom watering for groups of plants

Danish irrigation trays provide a practical way of watering multiple container-grown plants from below. Suitable pots with drainage holes can be positioned on the tray and supplied with an appropriate amount of water or nutrient solution.

Moisture is then taken up through the bottom of the containers into the growing medium. For nurseries and larger growing areas, this can provide a more organised approach than individually watering every container.

The amount and duration of watering should always be matched to the crop, container size and growing medium. The tray itself provides the irrigation platform, allowing the grower to configure the wider watering and drainage system to suit the application.

Designed for irrigation & drainage systems

The internal surface is formed with a network of channels that helps move water across the tray towards the drainage area. This is useful both when supplying water to the tray and when collecting run-off from top-fed plants.

In a suitable installation, collected run-off can be directed to a reservoir or waste drainage arrangement. This makes the tray suitable for both simple manual watering setups and more developed irrigation systems.

Any pipework, fittings, reservoirs, pumps or drainage components required for a particular installation should be selected separately according to the intended system.

For nurseries, greenhouses & professional growing

The rectangular 1100 x 635mm format is particularly useful where several pots need to be organised within one irrigation zone. Containers can be arranged across the tray while water and drainage are managed through a common surface.

This can make the tray useful for young plants, propagation, herbs, ornamentals and other container-grown crops, provided the watering regime is appropriate for the plants being grown.

At approximately 0.70m², this size provides substantially more growing area than the narrow 1100 x 330mm model without requiring the full footprint of the 1100 x 1000mm tray.

Typical Danish irrigation tray applications
