Fixing cracked drip pans-repair options

mick5500 · August 9, 2014

I have about 25 tomato and pepper plants in pots 12 of the drip pans are cracked . Even for the cheapest 17 inch pans are $7.00 each
Can I use the glue I use to seal the sprinklers fitting (Blue Glue) or something to seal these. I worry about any toxic issues. My other option is I have heavy grade plastic rolls ,I could cut to cover the drip pan.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I have an ant problem so I want to place these
and spray around the planter pan and keep the water over run.
I also looked for larger drip plans that I could use like the top of a large tote for a couple plants .
Any info thank you.
