Default To crock or not to crock?

When appropriate. But I also usually put a layer of lawn moss on
top of the crock (or bottom of plastic pots), which reduces mess
and increases drainage. As it also holds water, it is ideal for
the purpose, and I often find that the roots are thickest in the
moss.


That sounds like a good idea; I'll give it a try. Thanks Nick.
