johns Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Dried sphagnum moss is useful for covering pot drainage holes to avoid soil being washed out. But if one doesn't have any handy, are there any good alternatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-Rah Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 If the pots are normally kept standing in water, I have never used any kind of stuff to cover the draininge holes, and the soil stays in the pot just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An D Smith Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hi Johns I sometimes use capillary matting as a cover for the bottom of the pots. I save all of my old matting for this purpose. Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Might be an idea. At the end of every season I have to scrape all the peat that has collected in the water trays at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
