Hey guys. Another newb question. I just bought 5 gallon buckets for my plants, but completely forgot about putting holes in the bottom, and want to do that ASAP. I'm having trouble finding something to put under the buckets though to catch the drainage. What do you guys use? What's cheapest? What do I look for. I've looked around and can't find much. I wouldn't mind a 3'x2' plastic bottom just to put at the bottom of the grow area. What are your thoughts?

When I look for a 3x2 though what is it called? I can't find anything that looks right? Any ideas what to put in to find it?
