I bought a few cat litter trays from £land today and darned if I can remember what I'm meant to do with them 
I think they are for leeks? If not, what else can I use them for?
Do I need to drill drainage holes before use?
Put me out of my misery pleeeeeeeeease.

If you are planting/sowing in them they will need drainage holes.

They also make good trays to stand pots on in the greenhouse (without holes of course  )

Whatever you do - don't try and drill holes - you can crack the plastic.

Use a hot skewer or similar to melt holes in the bottom.

My first pricking outs of larger bedding plants such as pelargoniums also go in them.

Don't forget the radish, and the CnC lettuce.

Yes, of course - the perfect unnibbled radish!

You could of course be different...........and buy a cat. 

Leeks would be my preference - no vet bills!!

The chippie isn't open today so will go tomorrow and see if I can get any polystyrene trays.
Got the OH to drill holes in the cat litter trays and seemed to work so sowing leeks to tomorrow.
