I have about a dozen smallish trees in plastic pots, on plastic saucers
on my timber decking. The decking underneath the saucers is often damp,
and might start rotting.

Can anyone suggest some kind of spacer or stand that I could put between
the saucers and the decking to allow air to circulate and dry the
decking? Preferably something fairly cheap, and that will not cause the
pots to be unstable in high winds.



I've got the old thing out of the microwave we took to the tip. The
glass thing that went round and round...
It's got three bumps of glass underneath so it doesn't sit flat and
it's got a slight edge so not all the water falls off.


Marbles maybe? Small squares of tile if you've got a tile cutter
