does it need a drainage tray

No, if your plan on keeping it outdoors. If you keep it indoors I would recommend getting one for humidity and also to prevent any water drainage ruining any furniture you might be displaying your bonsai on.

It doesn't. The holes don't drain the tray. I periodically scrape any wet seed out of the platform. Most of the time the seed is protected by the roof, but my sprinkling system sometimes gets the seed wet.

It depends on the size of the sink. depends on the drainage. the stainless steel bottom has no drainage through it. the drainage comes from the sides where the water runs off the side. you would need a double sink, one for the tray and one for drainage off the side. Personally I don't think this would work well on a sink.

Well, there's a slit on one end, but the tray isn't slanted. So you would still have to manually lift it to dump the water out. Convenient nonetheless. I have a small double sink and put mine directly in one side so there's no need for the tray. Hope that makes sense!

NO, but the dirt is quite heavy when it's filled and I agree with the other respondent that it's not necessary. That is, unless you are using it for something other than filling it with dirt and planting stuff. We love it for our side children's garden for veggies and flowers.

I answered yes but I was mistaken. No it did not come with drainage stoppers. We bought them separate.

No, there is no drainage system to install. In fact, there is nothing to install. The slats and connecting pieces go together easily, no tools required. It took me about 15 minutes to put it together all by myself.

I haven't had any problems with drainage. I just installed and tilted it slightly for drainage

Absolutely! The tray underneath fits right up against the lip on the sink so that it will drain right in. We are very happy with this purchase!

Yes, there is a drainage hole. You must put something under the pot to catch the water.

No. I purchased a drainage stopper from Amazon for one side. The second side is fitted with a garbage disposal.

The seed tray does have drainage holes. Whether or not they will prevent the seed from rotting is another issue. Where I live we haven't had rain in several days. I highly recommend this feeder though.

No drainage holes, but the feeder has done well after several days of steady rain. If you wanted to, it probably wouldn't be difficult to drill a few small drainage holes into the floor.

It didn't come with a tray. Nor did it have drainage holes; but I easily drilled holes in bottom before planting. I put pebbles in the bottom and topped with planter mix. I have not had any drainage problems...In fact, it hasn't 'drained' at all on the window ledge.

No it does not. but its small enough that tipping to drain is not a problem

No drainage is needed as long as you use a permeable weed block material that allows excess water to drain through.

Yes, the tray has drainage holes. However, if you are looking for a squirrel-proof bird feeder, this isn't it. Our squirrels enjoy swinging on the feeder while emptying the contents onto the ground where their compatriots enjoy the spoils. The silver lining is that the seed spilled onto the ground is consumed by a large variety of seed eating birds who seem to know the routine.
