Hmm... your method is helpful since I'm using the same kind of tray. Thanks. :1thumbup:
JK's method is what I am using for some of my CPs too, sphagnum moss can be grown easily with this method.

With the method, you cannt have reason not to add in new tray!!! :1thumbup:

Caseyhoo showed a good example of what I meant, but here's one of my growing containers as another example. It's used to be a meat bin in a refrigerator until the refrigerator broke.

The area in the corner is composed of cinder, which is where the container gets its water. I have an automatic watering system, so I simply bury a watering stick in the cinder, and the medium isn't disturbed when watered.

Here's a hole in the side of the container to drain excess water.

Here's another container. This one is more conventional. The drainage hole is on the bottom, but the container gets watered 3 times a day, so the medium stays wet.
