{"product_id":"potting-tidy-tray-61-cm","title":"GroZone Potting Tidy Tray, 61cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe GroZone Potting Tidy Tray turns any bench, worktop, or greenhouse shelf into a proper potting station in seconds. A large 61cm working area with high back and raised sides keeps compost, seeds, labels, and everything else contained where it belongs, not scattered across the shed floor. Three integrated compartments along the back hold dibbers, labels, and ties within arm's reach as you work — no more scrabbling around under the bench looking for the plant label you had a minute ago. When you're finished, brush or rinse the tray clean and stack it away until next time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a dedicated potting tray matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who has tried potting up seedlings on a kitchen table knows the problem: compost gets everywhere, tools disappear into the mess, seed packets get water-damaged, and the whole job takes twice as long as it needs to.
