I use heavy polythene - damp-proof membrane - and it's fine. It's not that difficult to make a long wooden trough and line it if you get the folds right (I like to have at least 3cm of water in the trough, with the mat supported at least 1cm above that on a platform made of old slates - they are the same width as a standard tray). A couple of inverted 5l water containers will keep 4 or 5 trays of plants going for a week in the hottest summer. Saw cuts in the necks will let the air in and the water out - best they are slightly different heights.Cheers.
