Sod, just read that beemerbill and I've gone put a layer of stones at the bottom of both my soil and mu soil cocco mix pots. Doh!

I've mentioned this common error many times....people think that perlite, hydroton, stones....anything porous at the bottom of the pot will help it drain....etc.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Putting a porous layer at the bottom does nothing but cause trouble!

It makes the usable volume of soil smaller and it gives the roots a place to die. In the future, refrain from such practices!

Google "perched water table container gardening" to learn more.
