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.


Any broken crockery, tiles, stones etc will be just as good.
