The Garland Metre Square Tray Black is a huge, deep-sided horticultural tray measuring 100 x 100 x 12cm with an impressive 100-litre internal capacity. One of the largest trays in Garland's range, it provides a substantial contained area for plant irrigation, groups of pots, drainage collection and a wide variety of commercial growing applications.

The combination of a full 1m² footprint and 12cm depth makes this significantly more substantial than a conventional garden tray. It is particularly useful for growers who need to manage larger groups of container-grown plants within one watering or drainage area.

The internal base incorporates a series of shallow horizontal ridges designed to aid drainage from plant pots. Manufactured from tough injection-moulded recycled polypropylene, the tray is suitable for repeated use in nurseries, greenhouses, garden centres and other professional growing environments.

Why choose the Garland Metre Square Tray?

  • 100 x 100cm footprint - provides a full square metre of contained tray area.
  • 12cm deep - substantially deeper than Garland's Value 1 Metre Square Tray.
  • 100-litre internal capacity - excellent containment for watering and drainage applications.
  • Internal drainage ridges - shallow horizontal ridges help drainage water move beneath plant pots.
  • Ideal for groups of pots - allows multiple containers to be managed within one large area.
  • Plant irrigation applications - Garland specifically recommends the tray for plant irrigation displays.
  • Commercial drip tray - the large contained footprint makes it useful wherever substantial drainage collection is required.
  • Tough injection-moulded construction - designed for years of normal use.
  • 100% recycled polypropylene - manufactured using recycled plastic.
  • Made in the UK - manufactured by Garland.

Large-scale plant watering & irrigation

With a full square metre of growing area, the Garland Metre Square Tray can accommodate a substantial group of pots within a single contained space. This makes it particularly useful for nursery production, greenhouse growing and garden centre plant displays.

Suitable pots with drainage holes can be watered from below by introducing an appropriate amount of water into the tray. Water can then be absorbed through the base of the containers and into the growing medium.

Alternatively, the tray can simply collect irrigation run-off from pots watered from above. Its 12cm depth and 100-litre capacity provide significantly more containment than a shallow plant tray.

Water levels should always be managed according to the crop, container and growing medium. Plants requiring freely drained root conditions should not be left standing in excess water for prolonged periods.

Ridged internal base to aid pot drainage

Garland moulds a series of shallow horizontal ridges into the internal base of the Metre Square Tray. These ridges are designed to aid drainage from plant pots positioned within the tray.

Raising portions of the pot base slightly from the lowest surface of the tray gives drainage water space to move underneath the containers. This is a useful feature when the tray is used for groups of plants in commercial growing and display areas.

1m² footprint with 100-litre capacity

At 100cm long x 100cm wide x 12cm high, this is a genuinely large horticultural tray. The square footprint provides exactly 1m² of area, making it straightforward to plan into nursery, greenhouse and growing-area layouts.

Its 100-litre internal capacity gives growers considerably greater containment than Garland's shallower Value 1 Metre Square Tray, which is only 5cm deep.

When using a tray of this size, it should be positioned on a suitably level and adequately supported surface. The combined weight of the tray, plants and water can become substantial during use.

Professional & general-purpose applications

Although particularly useful for horticulture, Garland designed the Metre Square Tray as a versatile large-capacity containment tray with a range of possible applications.

Commercial nurseries Provides a large contained area for groups of container-grown plants.
Greenhouses Useful for plant watering, drainage collection and organising larger groups of pots.
Garden centres Suitable for creating contained plant irrigation and display areas.
Bottom watering Compatible pots can absorb water through drainage holes in their bases.
Irrigation run-off 12cm deep sides provide substantial containment for water draining from pots.
General containment Large, deep tray format can be used wherever a substantial contained working area is required.

Tough recycled polypropylene construction

Garland manufactures its large garden trays from tough injection-moulded polypropylene. This robust construction is intended for repeated use, with Garland stating that its trays should provide years of service under normal conditions.

The Metre Square Tray is made from 100% recycled plastic, and the polypropylene material is also recyclable. Garland manufactures its plastic growing products in the UK.
