please help with using grow bags????

what would be the best way to catch the water that drains from grow bags im doing a indoor soil grow in 3gal grow bags, should i build a frame and put in a pond liner and just set the plants on the pond liner, the water will never get more then a inch in a 15/15ft area. any suggestions on how to catch the runoff from the grow bags without buying suacers for each bag????

It would be alot easier to spend $20 for a few saucers, I would think? You can buy 25 of them on Ebay for $30, and 10 for like $15.

Saucers for 15ft x 15ft? Thats a lot.

Me? I'd go the frame route and even tilt it with a drain in the corner. Only need a degree or two of tilt. You really don't want the roots sitting in water.

I basically did this with an old tote lid. Heated up a nickel and let it melt its way through. Gave a nice drain port. (was only for 6 plants)

Maybe a couple of black trays

Not if you're going to put one under each bag.

the pond liner and wood is gonna cost 150dollhairs vs buying 200saucers, wont the saucers take up more space?

Don't go pond liner. Most Home Cheapos have shower liners in the plmbing dept. Can by it by the yard.

Holy crap, 200 plants? I guess that isn't so shocking, now that i think about it. Yeah, it would probably be better to go with the liner idea.

thats what sum one else told me, dammit i already bought the pond liner it was expensive 130 for a 15/13 piece. i walked right by the shower liner stuff and saw it was cheaper, didnt think it would hold up as well as the pond liner stuff but i bet it smelled better.....

Also could build the wooden frame and fiberglass it. How tough does it need to be? Only using grow bags, not barbed wired based pots.
