This is so very true!! Please do not put gravel, plastic, tin cans etc. at the bottom of containers. ... π±πΏππβ€οΈπππΏπ± ... Posted @withrepost β’ @good.dirt TIP: We found this great diagram that portrays so well why we do NOT recommend the use of gravel in the bottom of containers! Water π¦ perches above the gravel level, hinders drainage and can cause root rot. π± ππ½ What we do recommend is a well draining soil as well as containers with drainage holes. With any of the Good Dirt Potting mixes, you have the ideal amount of drainage and porosity for roots to breathe. πͺπ½ Our BogBits are exclusive to Good Dirt and create a βhoneycombβ like structure to allow water, air and nutrients to flow to the roots. And... the air space needed in the soil for water to drain properly. #DigGoodDirt . . . . #gooddirt #growningooddirt #pottedplants #indoorgarden #indoorgardening #backyardgarden #landscapers #gardeningtips #inmygarden #containergardening #containergarden #gardening #urbangardener #gardenlife #flowerpot #horticulture #botany #plantshop #gardencenter #houseplantsofinstagram #plantgoals #greenthumb #gardenchat #terracota #roots #healthyroots #happysoil #soil #pottingmix Pic: somewhere in the internet π€·π½ββοΈ https://www.instagram.com/p/BxnP0iYlbAc/?igshid=pgfuhf9jnva6
