What the Botanicare Low Tide 1x4 Tray Is Built For
Low Tide is the shallow end of the Botanicare line, and at 48 by 14.25 in this is the narrow one. The sidewall stands 3.5 in and the tray holds 7.5 gallons, which is catchment volume rather than flood volume. A diagonal grid keeps pots off the floor and runs water toward the low corner.
A 1 ft x 4 ft Drip Tray on a Shelf or Under a Row
Rack shelves and propagation benches are where this width earns its keep. A four foot row of pots rarely needs more than a foot of tray under it. The low wall is deliberate. Less plastic, less money, and still enough lip to hold what a watering leaves behind. It will not take a flood cycle, so anyone running ebb and flow wants the deeper OD or ID trays instead.
Key Features
- 48 x 14.25 in outside: Narrow enough for a rack shelf, long enough for a four foot row of containers.
- 7.5 gallon capacity: Sized for catchment after watering rather than for holding a full nutrient flood.
- 3.5 in low profile wall: Keeps the tray light and easy to handle while still holding what drains out of the pots.
- Diagonal drainage grid: Lifts containers clear of standing runoff and steers water toward one corner.
- Black recycled ABS: Made in the USA from recycled and recyclable material, and BPA free.
