Default Large pots drainage?

It is recommended that broken pieces of clay pots are placed at the bottom
to help drainage. As clay pots are rarer then hen's teeth what do Urglers
use at the bottom of their pots, and how much material to they use?



These days I think broken up polystyrene is recommended.
Although I haven't any polystyrene around at the moment.
I think the clay pot thing was from when they were cheap, in common use, and
often broken so it was a readily available material.
