I'll need to put stones at the bottom (the holes in the pots I've got

I've often wondered. Is there any alternative to a layer of crocks or
stones in the bottom of pots?

I'm thinking an open nylon mesh or a zinc mesh in variously-sized
grids which could be cut to size. Has anyone invented this yet, or
should I?


If you put a wad of newspaper in the bottom, it will hold the soil in,
hopefully long enough for the roots to bind the soil.

That's what I use, just a double layer.
