GARDENING QUICK TIP.........Stop pots drying out or water logging

All containers need some drainage. To ensure proper drainage, drill a few small holes at the bottom of the container, about half an inch or an inch apart depending on the size of the pot. This will create a reservoir of water at the bottom without causing waterlogged soil.

If there is not enough drainage in a container, the soil can become waterlogged. This can lead to root rot and other issues for the plants.

To prevent containers from becoming waterlogged, make sure to create adequate drainage by drilling holes at the bottom of the container. Additionally, you can use raised feet or a layer of pebbles to elevate the container and promote better drainage.

Yes, you can use any type of container for drilling drainage holes. Whether it's ceramic, plastic, or metal, drilling small holes at the bottom will improve drainage and prevent waterlogging.

Putting the container on raised feet is not necessary, but it can help improve drainage. If you prefer, you can elevate the container using pebbles or any other stable object to promote better drainage.
