if you dont like the normal pot trays idea then yeah ...a 4 foot by 4 foot flood tray would be good.

I use trash bags for saucers. Roll them up when I water to catch runoff, then vacuum it out and roll them back down. Use heavy contractor grade bags.

i would think going to a tray setup instead of bag would increase your quality and be less actual physical work. Ive never heard of using bags before, it might be fine though.

You'll be great with 18" saucers. Vacuum out the runoff water.

Lots of saucers / serving platers / containers that would suit the bill at the dollar store, go take a walk a few of them in your town.
