Turf tray

Abstract

A turf tray supports live turf on a growth medium within a contained structure. The turf tray includes a base and walling that encloses at least a portion of a perimeter of the turf. The base defines a drainage area through which liquid seeping through the turf and growth medium drains from the base. A floor of the base slopes toward the drainage area to direct the liquid for drainage. Ridges project upwardly from the sloped floor and support a liner that receives the growth medium, the ridges maintaining the liner above the floor to provide an airflow gap. Adjacent ridges define channels along which the liquid flows toward the drainage area. Ridge heights vary relative to the slope to support the liner in a common plane. A receptacle underlying the drainage area collects drained liquid and is removable for disposal. The turf tray includes interconnecting tray components.
