Care information

Proper cleaning, drying and storage will help keep your sprouting equipment hygienic and in good working condition. Always follow any product-specific care instructions supplied with the item.

Cleaning: Wash reusable jars, trays, lids, screens and other growing components thoroughly before first use and after every crop. Use warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse well with clean water.

Sanitising: Equipment used for growing edible sprouts or microgreens should be sanitised regularly using a suitable food-contact sanitising method that is compatible with the product material. Rinse where required by the sanitiser instructions.

Drying: Allow all components to dry completely before reassembling or storing. Trapped moisture can encourage mould, odours and microbial growth.

During Growing: Keep drainage holes, mesh screens and ventilation areas clear so water can drain freely and air can circulate around the crop. Remove seed residue and organic matter between growing cycles.

Handling: Avoid abrasive scourers, harsh chemicals or excessive force that may scratch, warp or damage plastic, glass, mesh or other components. Do not expose equipment to high heat unless the product is specifically rated for it.

Inspection: Check reusable equipment regularly for cracks, chips, damaged screens, worn seals or other deterioration. Replace damaged components that can no longer be cleaned effectively or used safely.

Storage: Store clean, completely dry equipment in a dry, well-ventilated area away from excessive heat, direct sunlight and contamination.

Best Care: Product materials and cleaning requirements can vary, so follow any specific washing, dishwasher, temperature or maintenance instructions shown on the product packaging or product page.

Delivery and Shipping

Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your order size and weight, delivery address and available carrier services. We use Australia Post and other carriers to provide suitable delivery options and rates.

Dispatch

Orders are generally packed and dispatched within 0–2 business days (Monday–Friday), excluding public holidays and unusually busy periods.

Delivery Times

Delivery times begin from the date your order is dispatched. As a general guide, Australia Post Parcel Post usually takes 2–6 business days, while Express Post generally takes 1–3 business days where available.

Regional and remote destinations may take longer. Orders containing seed sent to Western Australia, Tasmania or other biosecurity-controlled destinations may also require additional processing or inspection.

Delivery estimates are provided as a guide only and can be affected by carrier delays, weather, peak periods and biosecurity requirements.

Tracking

All shipped orders include tracking. Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive an email with your tracking information so you can follow its progress.

Authority to Leave

Depending on the carrier and delivery service, your parcel may be left in a safe location if no one is available to receive it. You can provide delivery instructions during checkout where supported by the carrier; however, specific delivery requests cannot always be guaranteed.

Local Pickup – Riverstone, NSW

Local pickup can be selected at checkout when available. Please allow approximately 2–3 business days for your order to be prepared.

Wait until we contact you to confirm that your order is ready and arrange a suitable collection time.

Please do not attend the warehouse without an appointment. All pickups are strictly by prior arrangement.

Seed Biosecurity – WA & Tasmania

Seeds and other plant material may be subject to state biosecurity restrictions.

Western Australia has specific entry requirements for seed, and seed consignments may be inspected by Quarantine WA. Tasmania also regulates the importation of viable seed, with additional requirements applying to certain species and consignments.

Requirements vary by seed species, quantity and destination and may change over time. Customers in Western Australia, Tasmania and other biosecurity-controlled areas should check current state requirements before ordering.

Where an order contains seed that cannot meet applicable biosecurity requirements, we may need to contact you before dispatch or remove affected products from the order.

Microgreen & Wheatgrass Drip Tray – 35 × 30cm

Reusable solid drip tray for clean, controlled bottom watering of wheatgrass and microgreens. Designed to fit the OzSprout grow tray while catching runoff and holding irrigation water.

Description

Drip Tray for Microgreens, Wheatgrass & Bottom Watering

Keep your growing area cleaner and make watering easier with this Microgreen & Wheatgrass Drip Tray. Measuring approximately 35 × 30 × 6cm, the solid black tray is designed to sit underneath a drainable grow tray, catching excess water while also functioning as a reservoir for bottom watering.

The matching Microgreen & Wheatgrass Grow Tray measures approximately 33 × 28 × 5cm and nests inside the larger drip tray to create a practical two-tray growing system.

Catch Runoff & Water Microgreens from Below

Unlike the drainable grow tray, the drip tray has a solid base with no drainage holes. Water passing through the upper tray is collected below instead of running onto benches, shelves or other growing surfaces.

Once seedlings have established a healthy root system, the lower tray can also be used for bottom watering. Add a suitable amount of water to the drip tray and allow the roots and growing medium in the upper tray to absorb moisture through the drainage openings.

This method helps reduce unnecessary wetting of established stems and leaves while delivering moisture directly to the root zone.

Suitable for Microgreens, Wheatgrass & Pea Shoots

Pair the drip tray with a compatible drainable grow tray for wheatgrass, sunflower microgreens, pea shoots, broccoli, radish, kale, beetroot and many other tray-grown crops.

It can also be used as a catch tray beneath appropriately sized pots, propagation trays and other growing containers where a solid lower reservoir is useful.

Reusable Growing Equipment

The drip tray is designed for repeated growing cycles. After each harvest, empty any remaining water, wash the tray thoroughly and allow it to dry before starting another crop.

Please note: The drip tray and drainable grow tray are sold separately unless specifically included together in a kit listing.

How to Use the Microgreen Drip Tray

The drip tray is a solid-bottom tray designed to sit underneath a compatible drainable grow tray. It catches runoff during early watering and can later be used as a reservoir for bottom watering established crops.

What You Need

  • 1 drip tray
  • Compatible drainable grow tray
  • Microgreen, wheatgrass or pea-shoot seeds
  • Suitable growing medium
  • Clean water

During Germination

  1. Clean both trays: Wash and dry the drip tray and grow tray before starting a new crop.
  2. Prepare the upper tray: Add your growing medium and sow according to the instructions for the crop.
  3. Nest the trays: Place the drainable grow tray inside the solid drip tray.
  4. Water appropriately: During germination, mist or top-water according to the needs of the crop.
  5. Catch runoff: Excess water passing through the drainage openings will collect in the lower tray.
  6. Remove excess water: Empty excessive standing water so the upper tray is not continuously submerged.

Bottom Watering Established Crops

Once the seedlings have developed a healthy root system:

  1. Lift the grow tray briefly.
  2. Add a shallow amount of clean water to the drip tray.
  3. Replace the grow tray.
  4. Allow the roots and growing medium to absorb moisture through the drainage openings.
  5. Check the crop and growing medium regularly.
  6. Add more water only when required.

Avoid leaving excessive water in the reservoir indefinitely.

Why Bottom Water?

Bottom watering directs moisture towards the root zone without repeatedly wetting established stems and leaves.

The solid lower tray also catches runoff from the upper grow tray, helping keep benches, shelves and other growing surfaces cleaner.

Suitable Uses

Pair the drip tray with a compatible drainable grow tray for:

  • Wheatgrass
  • Sunflower microgreens
  • Pea shoots
  • Broccoli microgreens
  • Radish microgreens
  • Kale microgreens
  • Beetroot microgreens
  • Other tray-grown microgreens
  • Seedlings and propagation where the dimensions are suitable

Water Management

The amount of water required will vary according to:

  • crop type;
  • stage of growth;
  • temperature;
  • airflow;
  • growing medium; and
  • root development.

Check the crop rather than following a fixed watering quantity or schedule.

The goal is to provide adequate moisture without leaving the growing medium unnecessarily saturated.

Cleaning & Care

After each crop:

  1. Remove the grow tray.
  2. Empty all remaining water.
  3. Wash the drip tray thoroughly to remove growing-medium residue and organic material.
  4. Rinse with clean water.
  5. Allow the tray to dry completely before storage or reuse.

Do not leave stagnant water or crop residue in the tray between growing cycles.
